What is the formula and name of the compound produced at the end of the virtual lab, and what caused it to have a different appearance than the tin and nitric acid that you mixed at the beginning of the lab?

, and are formed at the end of the reaction. They are named as tin (IV) oxide or stannic oxide, nitrogen dioxide and water respectively.

Explanation: Reaction of tin and nitric acid is given as:

Three products are formed at the end of the reaction which are:

At the starting tin was a silvery-white colored solid and after the reaction, it changed the color to milky-white. This change in color is due to the chemical reaction happening between tin and nitric acid.

Release of brown fumes are also an indication that a chemical reaction has taken place.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
