The above chemical equation describes the chemical reaction process between the metal tin (Sn) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), creating tin(II) sulfate (SnSO4) and water (H2O).
- Reaction conditions
The condition for the reaction to occur is that sulfuric acid (H2SO4) must be in a concentrated and hot form to be able to react with tin (Sn).
- Reaction process
The reaction process occurs as follows: When tin (Sn) comes into contact with concentrated, hot sulfuric acid (H2SO4), it immediately reacts and creates tin(II) sulfate (SnSO4) and water (H2O).
- Phenomenon occurrence
When the reaction occurs, the metal tin (Sn) will be dissolved in the concentrated, hot sulfuric acid (H2SO4), creating a white solution of tin(II) sulfate (SnSO4) and releasing hydrogen gas (H2). This phenomenon can be recognized by the appearance of gas bubbles on the surface of the solution.
