Strontium iodide can be prepared by reacting strontium carbonate with hydroiodic acid:
SrCO3 + 2 HI → SrI2 + H2O + CO2 
Strontium iodide yellows when exposed to air. At high temperatures (when in the presence of air) strontium iodide completely decomposes to form strontium oxide and free iodine.


USES :
 Strontium iodide is a salt of strontium and iodine. It is an ionic, water-soluble, and deliquescent compound that can be used in medicine as a substitute for potassium iodide.
