Individual Reactions

 (g) =  (g) +  (g)

By formula: C₄H₁₂Sn (g) = C₃H₉Sn (g) + CH₄ (g)

 (l) +  (g) = C₃H₉BrSn (l) +  (g)

By formula: C₄H₁₂Sn (l) + Br₂ (g) = C₃H₉BrSn (l) + CH₃Br (g)

3 (l) +  (l) = 4 (l)

By formula: 3C₄H₁₂Sn (l) + Cl₄Sn (l) = 4C₃H₉ClSn (l)

 (l) + 3 (l) = 4 (l)

By formula: C₄H₁₂Sn (l) + 3Cl₄Sn (l) = 4CH₃Cl₃Sn (l)

 (l) +  (l) = 2 (l)

By formula: C₄H₁₂Sn (l) + Cl₄Sn (l) = 2C₂H₆Cl₂Sn (l)
