Nitric Acid and Tin.

In a paper read before the London
Chemical society by G. II. Walker on
the action of nitric acid on tin some of
the prevalent ideas ON that subject are
shown to be singularly erroneous.
Among these is the general supposition
that metallic tin tlissolves in nitric acid
with the production Of both a stannous
and stannic salt, according to the condi
tions of temperature and concentration
of the acid. In these later experiments
made to determine the amounts of
stannous salts formed under various con-
ditions of temperature, concentration OF
acid and mass of tin trcated--it is shown
that with dilute acids the increase of
temperature has but little effect, but
with more concentrated acids the effect
is more marked, for the alteration of a
few more degrees will reduce the amount
of stannous salt to nothing, while in.
crease of concentration, other things be-
ing equal, decreases the proportion of
stannous salt 1t is found that the vel
lowish white substance formed from con
centrated solutions is a hydrated stannio
nitrate of varying composition, depend
ing on the time between production and
analysis, al. on the method of purifica-
ton adopted for eliminating the nitric
acid. New York Sun
