Production of tin(IV)chloride from tin could be made through direct reaction between tin and chlorine gas while nitrogen gas was used as diluents and carrier of the chlorine gas to a reactor. The tin(IV)chloride gas product from the reactor was condensed into liquid form and eventually collected in a receiver. The purposes of this thesis are a) to study the effect of temperature, feed flowrate of the chlorine gas, fraction of the chlorine gas and total feed flowrate on the production of tin(IV)chloride and b) to find the optimum conditions of the reaction. From the experimental data, the maximum volume of tin(IV)chloride could be obtained at reaction temperature of 140℃. Moreover, when the temperature, feed flowrate of Cl₂, fraction of Cl₂ and the total feed flowrate are increased, the production of tin(IV)chloride increases, meanwhile, the yield percentage computed from the used Cl₂ decreases. Therefore it can be concluded that the optimum condition for the production of tin(IV)chloride is at 140℃ with the fraction of Cl₂ between 0.8 and 0.9 and the total feed flowrate not over 0.7 l/min.
