She doesn't explain why acid is in the solution and which one it is.

@SuperJay101010 Why would I curse? Anyway, you are right tin is poorly attacked by HCl which is why it works in this reaction. The Zinc is being oxidized while the tin is being reduced. Tin crystal form and are not attacked by the HCL while the Zinc is around.

@kevinhazekamp schools suck.Do it at home like i did.Nothing to learn in the schools.

@michalchik sorry you're wrong tin doen't react with HCl.No offense buddy please don't curse.

@LeeviON Lol, I replayed this video, just to see the womans thumbnail as she reaches for the solution... THEN, I realized what you were talking about...

[michalchik]

@vmelkon HCl you know that because it is SnCl2 so you have to use the corresponding acid chloride.

Damn am I the only one who first thought there was weed in the thumbnail?
