About This Product
Strontium chloride is used in teacher-supervised qualitative demonstrations with strontium salts, in analysis procedures that specify it, and for preparing strontium chloride solutions for practical work. It helps when teaching chloride salts, alkaline-earth metal compounds and hydrate calculations. Because the anhydrous and hexahydrate forms have different molecular weights, weighing is based on the form shown on the label.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What forms of strontium chloride are available?
It may be anhydrous SrCl2 or strontium chloride hexahydrate, SrCl2·6H2O. The two forms have different CAS numbers and molecular weights, which changes the mass weighed for a given solution.
