Tin(II) chloride
Tin(II) chloride, also known as stannous chloride, is a white crystalline solid with the formula SnCl2.
It forms a stable dihydrate, but aqueous solutions tend to undergo hydrolysis, particularly if hot.
SnCl2 is widely used as a reducing agent (in acid solution), and in electrolytic baths for tin-plating.
Tin(II) chloride should not be confused with the other chloride of tin; tin(IV) chloride or stannic chloride (SnCl4).
