Answer:
Sn(C2H3O2)2
Explanation:
C2H3O2 is Acetate
Sn is tin
Acetate has a -1 charge
In order for tin to have a +2 charge, we need two acetates
So we write it as (C2H3O2)2
You just leave Sn blank because of the roman numeral and since it is a transition metal.
So the answer is Sn(C2H3O2)2
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf Sn (C_2 H_3 O_2)_2}}[/tex]
Explanation:
First, find what tin and acetate is.
- Acetate: C₂H₃O₂
- Tin: Sn
Next, find the charge on acetate, which is -1.
The Roman Numeral 2 in parentheses after tin (II), signifies that the tin has a charge of +2.
We need to balance the charges, so they will equal 0.
- 1 acetate= -1
- Tin = +2
The best way to balance is by using 2 acetate molecules
- 2 acetate = -2
- Tin = +2
- -2 +2=0
If we want 2 acetate molecules, we must add a subscript of 2 after acetate.
- Acetate: C₂H₃O₂
- 2 Acetate: (C₂H₃O₂)₂
Add the tin (Sn) in front
- Tin (II) Acetate: Sn (C₂H₃O₂)₂
The formula for tin (II) acetate is Sn (C₂H₃O₂)₂
