You can, but you need heat and charcoal.
Tin = Sn
Carbon = C
Oxygen = O2
SnO2 (tin oxide/tin ore) + C = Sn + CO2
You need to melt the tin ore and charcoal (made of C) together, and the carbon will take the oxygen from the tin oxide, creating carbon dioxide and tin. Voila, have your tin, and your waste compound, carbon dioxide.

How do you separate tin from tin ore?
To separate Tin from Tin Ore you have to heat it to combine the compounds together. Also if you combine Tin Ore with copper it makes a bronze bar. :)
Why cant you crush tin ore and get the tin out?
Because you need heat Because the Tin Ore contains Tin oxide which is a mixture of 2 oxygen (O²) atoms and 1 tin atom (Sn), making the formula for tin ore SnO². Because the atoms are joined making a compound you cant seperate them just by crushing because it will just crush both atoms not just the tin. So you need another atom to come and take the oxygen. Which if you use charcoal (which contains carbon) and smelter you get Tin and carbon dioxide instead of having tin ore and charcoal! (Basically you cant physically seperate them like that because they are joined!)
What is tin extracted from?
from tin ore
How do you extract tin from it's ore?
Tin is extracted from its ore by heating it with carbon or carbon monoxide.
How is tin obtained?
Tin mined as an ore and then smelted to produce metallic tin.

Why cant you get tin out of tin ore?
because you need heat to combine the compounds together
What is the name of tin ore?
The name for tin ore is "Tin Ore." There is no other name for tin ore..... Also, you can combine a tin ore to a copper ore to make a bronze bar. :)
