stannous chloride test solution

[herbbartley]

Is the solution supposed to be diluted? I dissolved as much tin in 30ml of muriatic acid as it would take up and it is yellow in color, not clear.

was the tin pure? do not dilute. did you test on a solution that contained gold or other PM? if not, try it and see if it works.

Look on Lasersteves site he has a video of making stannous chloride and a testing solution for gold.
