Question

Preparation or extraction of strontium in pure state

Answer 1

Answer:

Strontium can be derived through the electrolysis of fused chloride mixed with potassium chloride. Another option is to make strontium by reducing strontium oxide with aluminum at a temperature sufficiently high to distill off the element.

Compounds. In general, the chemistry of strontium is quite similar to that of calcium. In its compounds strontium has an exclusive oxidation state of +2, as the Sr2+ ion. The metal is an active reducing agent and readily reacts with halogens, oxygen, and sulfur to yield halides, oxide, and sulfide.
