stoichiometry - Equation for reaction of tin(IV) and iodine to produce tin(IV) iodide


Tin(IV) iodide is prepared by direct combination of the elements. Add 2.00 g of granulated tin to a solution of 6.35 g of iodine. Write an equation for this reaction.


Attempt:


1. Determine the amount of tin using moles = mass/molar mass. This yields a result of 0.017 mol Sn.


2. Determine the amount of iodine using moles = mass/molar mass. This yields a result of 0.5 mol I.


3. Determine the ratio of tin to iodine. Using relative amounts, for every 1 mol Sn there are 3 mol I, so the ratio is 1:3. Because iodine is a diatomic molecule, I will adjust accordingly, so the ratio becomes 2 mol Sn to 3 mol IX2 or 2:6.


4. Construct the formula:


2Sn+3IX2SnIX4


with excess tin and iodine.



Is my procedure correct?
