Tin(IV) chloride is used as an external coating on glass to toughen glass containers. It is prepared to by reacting tin with chlorine gas. Sn(s) + 2Cl2(g)-> SnCl4(l) The process requires a 25% excess of tin and has a yield of 73.7%. Calculate the mass of tin and the volume chlorine gas (d= 2.898 g/L at 25 C, 1 atm) needed to produce 0.500 L of SnCl4 (d=2.226 g/mL)
