Question

Give the chemical reaction between Tin and Water.

Answer 1

The chemical reaction between Tin and Water:

• Generally Tin is an unreactive metal.
• At room temperature, no reaction will occur between Tin and water, and no product is formed.
• When Tin is heated with steam, it will undergo a chemical reaction, where Tin dioxide and Hydrogen will be the products.

$\underset{\mathrm{Tin}}{\mathrm{Sn}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}\left(\mathrm{steam}\right)}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Tin}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{SnO}}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Hydrogen}}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$

Hence, the chemical reaction between Tin and Water is $\underset{\mathrm{Tin}}{\mathrm{Sn}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}\left(\mathrm{steam}\right)}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Tin}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{SnO}}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Hydrogen}}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$.
