How do you separate copper from tin?

Answer 1

in a plasma oven

Answer 2

Tin = Sn

Carbon = C

Tin would react with acids, carbon would be more resistant,

using hydrochloric acid:

HCl + Sn ---> SnCl2

C + HCl ---> no reaction unless very strong.

Carbon is also insoluble.

SnCl2 can then be electrolyzed.

OR

Easier way:

Apply heat to your mixture of tin and carbon in the presence of Oxygen.

Tin + oxygen --> quite resistant, minimum reaction

Carbon + Oxygen --> CO2, you'll get gas, which you might / might not want to collect, i.e., if you want to collect tin only and don't mind losing carbon, this method is better, the first method collects both.

Answer 3

You can burn the mixture at 210 degrees Celsius. Since carbon has a much higher melting point than tin, you can easily remove the carbon from the tin once the tin is a liquid.

Answer 4

You can burn the mixture at 210 degrees celsius. Since carbon has a much higher melting point than tin, you can easily remove the carbon from the tin once the tin is a liquid.

Answer 5

tin is a metal so they would have luster

also tin would be harder

Answer 6

separation method of tin and carbon

Answer 7

You can burn the mixture at 210 degrees celsius. Since carbon has a much higher melting point than tin, you can easily remove the carbon from the tin once the tin is a liquid.
