Preparation

Strontium acetate is formed by reacting strontium metal, strontium oxide, strontium hydroxide or strontium carbonate with acetic acid.

Sr + 2 CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2Sr + H2
SrO + 2 CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2Sr + H2O
Sr(OH)2 + 2 CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2Sr + 2 H2O
SrCO3 + 2 CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2Sr + H2O + CO2
