    Compound A : SnCl2

    the mass ratio of Cl and Sn: 71 g Cl / 119 g Sn = 0.579 g Cl / 1 g Sn

    Compound B: the ratio of mass of chlorine per 1 g Sn is twice the ratio of chlorine per 1 g Sn in compound A = > 1,194 g Cl / 1 g Sn = 142,086 g Cl / 119 g Sn

    => the number of chlorine / 1 atom Sn = 142.086 / 35.5 = 4.

    => the formula of B: SnCl4
