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:
diluted or stronger
Explanation:this is caused by the addition of oxygen and it is normally overbearing of ends up changing the whole molecule
Electrons are either lost gained or shared in chemical reactions :)
Redox reaction is the reduction and oxidation reaction. It is a chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons. It can mean loss of oxygen (oxidation) or gain of electrons (reduction). Oxydation is the process of where a sustance loses electrons, gains an oxygen atom/s, loses a hydrogen atom/s. reduction is the opposite.
In a redox reaction, one of the reactants must release electrons.
