Tin metal reacts with hydrogen fluoride to produce tin(II) fluoride and hydrogen gas according to the following balanced equation.
Sn(s)+2HF(g)→SnF2(s)+H2(g)

How many moles of hydrogen fluoride are required to react completely with 75.0 g of tin?
Step 1: List the known quantities and plan the problem.
Known
given: 75.0 g Sn
molar mass of Sn = 118.69 g/mol
1 mol Sn = 2 mol HF (mole ratio)
Unknown
mol HF
Use the molar mass of Sn to convert the grams of Sn to moles. Then use the mole ratio to convert from mol Sn to mol HF. This will be done in a single two-step calculation.
g Sn → mol Sn → mol HF
Step 2: Solve.

Step 3: Think about your result.
The mass of tin is less than one mole, but the 1:2 ratio means that more than one mole of HF is required for the reaction. The answer has three significant figures because the given mass has three significant figures.
Answer:
D.
They have a positive charge and are present in the nucleus of an atom along with the neutrons.
explanation:
Protons have a positive charge.
The troposphere protect the molecules because there are higher layers on top. This makes life possible on Earth.
Mixture. Distilled Water may be a pure substance, however, there are many minerals and such that are in tap water, making it a mixture.
