Definition of SrF2
SrF2, or Strontium Fluoride, also known in Vietnamese as Flourua Stronti, is a chemical compound with a molecular weight of 125 g/mol. The structure of this molecule includes one Sr2+ ion formed from a strontium atom and two F- ions from two fluorine atoms. SrF2 belongs to the group of strontium halogen compounds in the periodic table. -
Properties of SrF2
2.1 Physical properties: SrF2 typically exists as a solid with a gray or white color. This substance has no distinctive smell and does not dissolve in water. The PH level of SrF2 is very high, which gives it a basic nature.
2.2 Chemical properties: SrF2 participates in chemical reactions such as reactions with acid, oxidation reactions, and reactions with metal. -
Common chemical equations involving SrF2
Due to the complex chemical properties of SrF2, we will only mention a few simple examples such as the reaction with hydrochloric acid HCl to form SrCl2 and HF, or the reaction with the metal sodium Na to form NaF and Sr. -
Preparation of SrF2
4.1 Laboratory preparation: SrF2 is usually prepared through the reaction between hydrofluoric acid HF and strontium carbonate SrCO3.
4.2 Industrial preparation: On an industrial scale, SrF2 is typically produced from the reaction between strontium carbonate and hydrofluic acid at high temperatures.
