Strontium carbonate a mineral, strontium carbonate is prepared synthetically in one of two manners. First of which is from naturally occurring celestine also known as strontium sulfate (SrSO) or by using soluble strontium salts by the reaction in solution with a soluble carbonate salt (usually sodium or ammonium carbonates). For example if sodium carbonate was used in solution with strontium nitrate: Sr(NO) + NaCO → SrCO + 2 NaNO . The most common use is as an inexpensive colorant in fireworks. Strontium and its salts emit a brilliant red color in flame. Unlike other strontium salts, the carbonate salt is generally preferred
Titanium nitrate Titanium nitrate Titanium nitrate is the inorganic compound with formula Ti(NO). It is a colorless, diamagnetic solid that sublimes readily. It is an unusual example of a volatile binary transition metal nitrate. Ill defined species called titanium nitrate are produced upon dissolution of titanium or its oxides in nitric acid. Similarly to its original method, Ti(NO) is prepared by the nitration of titanium tetrachloride using dinitrogen pentoxide: A hydrated titanium nitrate is produced upon dissolution of titanium compounds in nitric acid. The complex has D symmetry, with four bidentate nitrate ligands. The N-O distances are 1·29 Å and 1·185 Å
