Question

A student synthesizes tin oxide to create a compound with generic formula SnxOy. She does this by combining 30.80 g of tin and when the tin oxide product is produced, the total mass of the product is 39.10 g.

Given that tin has a molar mass of 118.71 g⋅mole-1, the number of moles of tin in the product is

A) 3656.07

B) 0.25946

(dont round yet)

Expert Solution
Step 1

The mass of tin is = 30.80 g

The mass of tin oxide is = 39.10 g

The mass of oxygen is = 39.10 g - 30.80 g = 8.30 g
