can u tell me an experiment with tin and the daily uses of tin ​

Answer 1

Tin dendrite experiment

How to grow a metal dendrite using electricity

Safe­ty pre­cau­tions

Wear pro­tec­tive gloves and glass­es

Reagents and equip­ment:

tin(II) chlo­ride (10 g);

wa­ter (30 ml);

70% acetic acid (10 ml);

three Petri dish­es;

two clips with­out wires;

two clips with wires;

elec­tric­i­ty source with di­rect cur­rent;

beaker.

Step-by-step in­struc­tions

In the beaker, dis­solve tin(II) chlo­ride, then add acetic acid.

Con­nect three Petri dish­es with the clips, and pour the pre­pared so­lu­tion into each dish so that it will make con­tact with the clips.

Con­nect one end of the clip with wires to the dish­es on the side, and the oth­er to the elec­tric­i­ty source.

Watch the tin den­drite start to grow.

If the po­lar­i­ty is changed, the den­drite will start to grow in the op­po­site di­rec­tion.

Pro­cess­es de­scrip­tion

When a di­rect elec­tric cur­rent is passed through a tin(II) chlo­ride so­lu­tion, elec­trol­y­sis takes place.

On the neg­a­tive elec­trode (cath­ode), tin(II) ions are re­duced to met­al in the form of crys­tals re­sem­bling frag­ile tree branch­es.

Precautions

Daily uses of Tin

Tin - Tin has many uses.

It takes a high polish and is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion, such as in tin cans, which are made of tin-coated steel.

Alloys of tin are important, such as soft solder, pewter, bronze and phosphor bronze.

A niobium-tin alloy is used for superconducting magnets.

Most window glass is made by floating molten glass on molten tin to produce a flat surface.

Tin salts sprayed onto glass are used to produce electrically conductive coatings.
