Also, I cannot into Fahrenheit.

Room temperature in Fahrenheit is ~75, so that's a bit cold.

Then 80-90 should be just fine to get it going. The colder it is, the worse it goes.

FACT MODE ACTIVATE
An ion is a charged particle, which occurs when an atom/molecule (more commonly a molecule) has more (negative/anion) or fewer (positive/cation) electrons than protons.
An isotope is a variant on an element, differentiated by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. This makes no difference on charge but does affect mass and nuclear processes.

I don't believe tin (ii) is either, I think roman numerals mean oxidation state (though my memory is fuzzy on that).

[Comrade P.]

There is an ion of tin (II), it can be found in aqueous solution of any water solution of salt of tin in oxidation state (II).

Cations are negative, I believe. The numerals refer to metals with multiple oxidation states. They are usually capitalized.

I thought Roman numerals were ions of metal


Also Comrade P. It's 10 degrees Celsius here
(Converted for your ease)
The guide gave a 4 hour estimated time of completion at a bit above room temp
I've had this stuff soaking in a temperature fluctuating between (IIRC) 0~10 degrees Celsius for almost 24 hours now

That sounds rather non-conducive to reactions at any decent speed.

[Remuthra]

Indeed, particularly when you remember that reactions have activation energies.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Ya.....
Not really anything I can control
My parents don't want me doing any of this inside

[Remuthra]

Bunsen burner?

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I'm at home
And using glass and plastic things
I do not own a Bunsen burner
Nor do I want to put a flame up to acid

[Remuthra]

Well, you're not going to get much unless you have some way of meeting your activation energy .

Cations are negative, I believe. The numerals refer to metals with multiple oxidation states. They are usually capitalized.

Cations have a positive charge (i.e. they have lost electrons). The way I always remember it is that cats give you warm positive feelings, so cations have a positive charge.

[Comrade P.]

Aaaah, you're doing it in the street. Now I can dig it.

Get a hair dryer and extension cord and heat the reaction mixture with it.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I'm doing it in a ventilated tent in the middle of nowhere but same difference I guess 


That might work....
