    1.
    a halide

    There are two kinds of halides of Sn and Pb, MX 2 which is mainly ionic type and MX 4 which is mainly covalent type
    .


    Since Pb (IⅣ) oxidizing strong, so PbBr .


    SnCl 2 and PbCl 2 are white solids
    .


    PbCl 2 is slightly soluble in water


    SnCl 4 is a colorless liquid.


    The metal has a high oxidation number and is easier to hydrolyze.


    The halides of Sn and Pb can easily form complexes in excess X-containing solution, such as [SnCl 6 ] 2- , [SnCl 4 ] 2- , [PbC1 3 ] - , [PbC1 4 ] 2-
    .


    The solubility of PbX 2 in water is relatively small at room temperature , but when the concentration of X - increases or the aqueous solution is heated, the solubility of PbX 2 can be increased and colorless complex ions can be generated


    Therefore, using X- to precipitate Pb 2+ can not achieve the purpose of separation
    .

    The KI solution was added to the Pb(NO 3 ) 2 solution to generate a yellow Pbl 2 precipitate.
    The system was directly heated without being separated, and the precipitate was dissolved into a colorless solution, naturally and slowly cooled to room temperature, and yellow needle-like Pbl 2 crystals were precipitated
    .

    Sn 2+ has strong reducibility, and SnCl 2 is easily oxidized in the air.
    Therefore, when configuring the SnCl 2 solution, Sn particles should be added to prevent Sn 2+ from being oxidized
    .

    The reducibility of SnCl 2 is also reflected in the reaction with HgCl 2
    .


    SnCl 2 reacts with HgCl 2 to produce white Hg 2 Cl 2 precipitate.


    SnC1 2 was thrown into the Fe 3+ KSCN solution, and the red color of the solution was faded due to the reduction of Fe 3+
    .

    2.


    Sulfides

    Among the sulfides of Ge, Sn, and Pb, PbS.
    does not exist due to the strong oxidizing properties of Pb(IV)
    .


    GeS and GeS 2 have certain solubility in water, while SnS, SnS 2 and PbS are insoluble sulfides


    SnS brown, SnS 2 yellow, PbS black
    .


    SnS 2 can be used as gold powder coating


    Low-valence sulfides can be oxidized by persulfides and converted into high-valence sulfides
    .


    E.
    g

    The generated high-valence sulfide is acidic and dissolves in alkaline sulfide to generate thiosalt
    .


    SnS is amphoteric and slightly alkaline, insoluble in Na 2 S solution but soluble in Na 2 S 2 solution
    .

    Thioacid salts are unstable and decompose when exposed to acid
    .


    The sulfides of high-valence metals are acidic and soluble in strong alkali solutions
    .
