Tin Reacting with Hydrochloric Acid
Sn + 2HCl → SnCl2 + H2
Visão geral
Tin reacts slowly with hydrochloric acid to produce tin(II) chloride (stannous chloride) and hydrogen gas. Tin is relatively low in the activity series, so the reaction is sluggish at room temperature but proceeds at a reasonable rate when heated.

Exemplo do cotidiano
Tin cans (steel coated with tin) are resistant to food acids partly because tin reacts slowly with acids, protecting the steel underneath.
Importância industrial
O cloreto de estanho(II) é utilizado como agente redutor em química analítica, em galvanoplastia de estanho e como sensibilizador na prateação de espelhos.
