stannic's Usage Examples:

The action of these acids on many metals was also studied; Glauber obtained zinc, stannic, arsenious and cuprous chlorides by dissolving the metals in hydrochloric acid, compounds hitherto obtained by heating the metals with corrosive sublimate, and consequently supposed to contain mercury.

A colloidal or soluble stannic acid is obtained by dialysing a mixture of tin tetrachloride and alkali, or of sodium stannate and hydrochloric acid.

Double salts of cerous chloride with stannic chloride, mercuric chloride, and platinic chloride are also known.

The majority of the metallic chlorides are solids (stannic chloride, titanic chloride and antimony pentachloride are liquids) which readily volatilize on heating.

Dry stannous oxide, if touched with a glowing body, catches fire and burns to stannic oxide, Sn02.

It crystallizes in octahedra isomorphous with stannic oxide.

Hence all tin crystals as kept in the laboratory give with water a turbid solution, which contains stannic in addition to stannous chloride.

Metastannic acid is distinguished from orthostannic acid by its insolubility in nitric and sulphuric acids.

This acid, H 2 Sn0 3, is readily soluble in acids forming stannic salts, and in caustic potash and soda, with the formation of orthostannates.

The use of tin salts, especially stannic chloride, SnC1 4, enables dyers to weight all colours the same as black.
