Why does tin react with hydrochloric acid?

Answer 1

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) + tin (Sn) gives you Tin chloride (SnCl) + Hydrogen (H2) The hydrogen molecule should have the 2 as an underscore but I can't find it on the iPad I am typing this from. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

At the 4 oxidation state of tin.

Sn + 4HCl >-> SnCl4 + 2H2

at the 2 oxidation state of tin

Sn + 2HCl >-> SnCl2 + H2

Answer 3

yes it does.

if you combine one Sn with 2HCl, SnCl2 and H2 gas is produced.

Answer 4

Tin + Sulphuric acid --> Tin sulphate + hydrogen

Answer 5

because when it touches it fizzes up and creates smoke and starts to melt hehehhehehehe
