In this video we will describe the equation SrF2 + H2O and write what happens when SrF2 is dissolved in water. Strontium fluoride is only slightly soluble in water.

We can consult a solubility table to check and determine if SrF2 will dissolve in water. There are also a set of general rules to help remember which compounds are soluble, insoluble, or partially soluble.

When we check the solubility table, we see that SrF2 is insoluble. Essentially you end up with wet SrF2 when you mix SrF2 with water. Strontium fluoride doesn’t dissolve or react with the water. Note that a miniscule amount may dissolve but this is small enough that we can ignore it and say that SrF2 is insoluble in water.

Knowing the solubility rules can help you determine whether SrF2 will dissolve in water and dissociate into ions (see [ Ссылка ]). The solubility chart is also helpful (see [ Ссылка ]).

Often we consider equations showing ions to be net ionic equations. For help with net ionic equations see [ Ссылка ] .
