Does metallic tin react with\({\bf{HCl}}\)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes, the reaction is \(Sn(s) + 2HCl(aq) \to SnC{l_2}(s) + {H_2}(g)\).

Step by step solution

01

Reaction with metal and strong acid

Hydrochloric acid (HCl), being strong,reacts with most metals to form its respective metal salt and liberates hydrogen gas.

It can be represented as:

\({\bf{Acid/Base + Metal}} \to {\bf{Salt + Hydrogen gas}}\)

02

Determine the metallic tin reaction

Tin and hydrochloric acid react to form tin (II) chloride and hydrogen

\(Sn(s) + HCl(aq) \to SnC{l_2}(s) + {H_2}(g)\)

Therefore, the balanced reaction is \(Sn(s) + 2HCl(aq) \to SnC{l_2}(s) + {H_2}(g)\).
