Does SnCl2 dissociate in water?

All Answers (8) hi Zamarrud, Yes SnCl2*2H20 is soluble in water, in less than its own weight of water, but it forms an insoluble basic salt with excess water making it soluble in ethanol.

How do you dissolve SnCl2?

One milliliter of 0.1 N iodine corresponds to 0.01128 g of SnCl2·2H2O. Dissolve 5.0 g in 5 mL of hydrochloric acid, heat to 40 °C if necessary, and dilute with 5 mL of water. The salt should dissolve completely.
