strontium carbide formula is a compound with the chemical formula SrCl2. It is manufactured by reacting strontium chloride with carbon in an electric furnace. The resulting substance is extremely stable. It is also used in the production of strontium ferrites for permanent magnets. It is often doped with europium to make it emit blue/green light in electroluminescent materials. It is also used in the manufacture of cathode ray tubes for televisions.
It is also used in fireworks because it glows brightly and is inexpensive to produce. It is soluble in acids but is insoluble in water. It is a common ingredient in pottery glazes as it acts as a flux and modifies the color of some oxides. It is also used in ceramics for making iridescent glass, luminous paint and in some pyrotechnics. The carbonate is the preferred form of strontium for this purpose because it does not contaminate other metals when mixed with them.
Like all carbonates, strontium carbonate is very slightly soluble in water, but it has high solubility at higher temperatures. It can also decompose to produce gases that can be problematic in a glaze slurry, especially if they escape during the cooling process. This gas can cause pinholes and blisters in the glazed surface.
The stoichiometry of the reaction is SrCl2 + NaOH -> 2Sr(NO3)2. The nitrate form is more commonly used in the laboratory. It is also used in fertilizers and explosives because it oxidizes quickly to give off nitrogen, oxygen and water. It is also toxic if inhaled. Exposure to this compound can affect your heart, nervous system and kidneys. It is also an irritant to your skin.
