Tin metal is heated with oxygen gas to yield tin(IV) oxide.

Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer

Which is a balanced equation for the following reaction?

tin + oxygen → tin (IV) oxide

If I didn’t get it you are dead

Sn(s) + O2(g) --> SnO2(s)

To write the chemical equation for the reaction between tin metal (Sn) and oxygen gas (O2) to form tin(IV) oxide (SnO2), we first need to understand the valence states of each element involved.

Tin can exist in multiple valence states, but in this case, it is specifically mentioned that it forms tin(IV) oxide. This indicates that tin has a valence state of +4 (Sn4+).

Oxygen always has a valence state of -2 (O2-) when it forms compounds.

Now, let's put these pieces together to write the chemical equation:

Sn (s) + O2 (g) -> SnO2 (s)

In this equation:
- (s) represents the solid phase for tin metal and tin(IV) oxide.
- (g) represents the gaseous phase for oxygen gas.

Therefore, the chemical equation for the reaction is:
Tin (s) + Oxygen gas (g) -> Tin(IV) oxide (s)
