Abstract

The anodic dissolution of Sn in acidic chloride solutions (pH = -2.0 to 2.9) was studied at 25 °C. The apparent valence of the dissolving ions varied from about 0.4 to 2.4, and was a function of both electrolyte and c.d. The complexing of Sn2+ by Cl- had an important influence, with SnCl-3 apparently being the dominant product. A reaction sequence is proposed involving the stepwise oxidation of Sn, accompanied by reaction with Cl-. © 1974.
