Question

a word equation for reduction of tin by the reaction of tin oxide with carbon?

Answer 1

The most common ore of tin is cassiterite, which is stannic oxide, or tin (IV) oxide

with the formula SnO2. The word equation for the reduction of tin with carbon is:

tin oxide + carbon (+ heat) → tin + carbon dioxide

The carbon dioxide is given off as a gas and the melted tin can be drawn off and

cooled. The chemical equation is: SnO2 + C → Sn + CO2(g)

Hope this answers your question!

Answer 2

Stannic Oxide Formula

Answer 3

Please specify if it is tin (II) oxide or tin (IV) oxide
