I wanted to make strontium acetate but it didn't get hot (like when I mix calcium hydroxide with acetic acid). Does that mean it didn't work?

SUMMARY
The reaction between strontium carbonate and acetic acid does not necessarily produce heat, as it is an endothermic process. Unlike the exothermic reaction observed with calcium hydroxide, the strontium acetate formation may not result in a temperature increase. The solid strontium carbonate should dissolve, and carbon dioxide bubbles should be visible if the reaction is successful. The absence of heat does not indicate failure; rather, it reflects the nature of the reaction.
