Strontium acetate is a compound with formula (CH₃COO)₂Sr. It is a strontium salt of acetic acid. It is a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water like other acetates. It is used as a pathway for other chemicals such as barium acetate. Additionally, it is used in some strontium-containing toothpastes.^[4]

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
