Application
At ordinary temperatures tin is stable in air. It actually forms a very thin protective oxide film. In powder form, and especially in the presence of moisture, it oxidizes. When heated with oxygen it forms tin(IV) oxide, SnO2.Tin reacts with all halogens forming their halides. Reaction with fluorine is slow at ordinary temperatures; however, chlorine, bromine and iodine readily react with the metal.
Tin is attacked by concentrated acids. With dilute acids the reaction may be slow or very slow. The metal readily reacts with hot concentrated hydrochloric acid and aqua regia but slowly with cold dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction also is slow with hot dilute sulfuric acid, which dissolves the metal, particularly in the presence of an oxidizing agent. The reaction with nitric acid is generally slow. Hot concentrated acid converts the metal to an insoluble hydrated tin(IV) oxide. The reaction is rapid with moist sulfur dioxide or sulfurous acid, chlorosulfonic, and pyrosulfuric acids. Organic acids such as, acetic, oxalic, and citric acids react slowly with the metal, particularly in the presence of air or an oxidizing agent.
Strong alkaline solutions of caustic soda or caustic potash dissolve tin forming the stannate, Na2SnO3, or K2SnO3. The metal is stable in dilute solutions of ammonia or sodium carbonate.
Tin dissolves in solutions of oxidizing salts such as potassium chlorate or potassium persulfate. The metal does not react with neutral salts in aqueous solutions. In air, tin reacts slowly with neutral salts.
The metal does not combine directly with hydrogen, nitrogen or ammonia gas.
