Question
Hydrogen gas is produced when elemental tin reacts with HF to produce hydrogen and tin(II) fluoride. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.
Step 1
Elemental tin (Sn) reacts with hydrofluoric acid (HF) to produce hydrogen gas (H2) and tin(II) fluoride (SnF2). So, the unbalanced chemical equation is: \[ Sn + HF \rightarrow H2 + SnF2 \] Show more…
