Wanted to check my thoughts

I suggested dissolving some of the Tin to check if it is 99.99% as claimed. If the hydrochloric has any color, then it is contaminated with another metal.

Oh okay yeah sure can be done

Don’t know if this is needed or not but I was just looking through one of Hokes books and it made me think of this post so I thought I’d throw it up here.

Second from the bottom. Tin-burns to dark oxide.

A pickle solution will get ride of the nasty bit on surface and leave a nice clean metal. Should anyway.

Yeah I did go through this, although mine has turned completely golden I haven't had the time these past few days to get another acquaintance test done with HCl as suggested earlier.

Thanks for the reshare though
