What is the formula of tin (II) acetate?

Explanation:

First, find what tin and acetate is.

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.

The best way to balance is by using 2 acetate molecules

If we want 2 acetate molecules, we must add a subscript of 2 after acetate.

Add the tin (Sn) in front

The formula for tin (II) acetate is Sn (C₂H₃O₂)₂

- aluminum and copper chloride.

- the chloride ion to separate the aluminum from the oxygen so that the aluminum can react with the copper ions (and the water molecules).
