Tin(II) fluoride is added to some dental products to help prevent cavities. Tin(II) fluoride is prepared according
to the following equation:
Sn(s) + 2HF(aq) → SnF2(aq) + H2(g)
How many grams of tin(II) fluoride can be produced
from 55.0 g of hydrogen fluoride if there is plenty of tin
available to react?

Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of HF and SnF₂.

For HF

molar mass = (1.008 g/mol × 1) + (19.00 g/mol × 1)

molar mass = 20.008 g/mol

For SnF₂

molar mass = (118.7 g/mol × 1) + (19.00 g/mol × 2)

molar mass = 156.7 g/mol

Step 2: Determine the mole ratio needed.

mole ratio = 2 mol HF : 1 mol SnF₂

Step 3: Calculate the mass of SnF₂ produced by using the mole ratio.

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen

explanation:
