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
Vanadyl nitrate if VONO is heated at 350 °C, vanadium pentoxide solid is left behind. Infrared absorption at 9.8 to 10 μm indicates vanadium to oxygen bonds are present, and absorption at 7.25 μm indicates nitrate. Very weak absorption at 12.19 μm shows a very small quantity of ionic nitrate exists, so this compound is mostly covalent. Vanadyl nitrate Vanadyl nitrate, also called vanadium oxytrinitrate or vanadium oxynitrate is a compound of vanadium in the +5 oxidation state with nitrate groups and oxygen. The formula is VO(NO). It is made from dinitrogen pentoxide and vanadium pentoxide. It is a nitrating agent, adding
