What is true about the equation shown below FeCl2 plus SnCl4 - SnCl2 plus FeCl3?

One important truth is that it is not balanced, because it has five chlorine atoms on the right side and only two chlorine atoms on the left. The equation should read:
2 FeCl2 + SnCl4 -> SnCl2 + 2 FeCl3. The equation also describes an oxidation-reduction reaction, in which iron ions are oxidized and tin ions are reduced.

What is the function of SnCl2 and HgCl2 in estimation of iron from plain carbon steel?
function of SnCl2 is that it acts as a reducing agent to reduce FeCl3 to FeCl2 and function of HgCl2 is to oxidize SnCl2 to SnCl4. total iron is determined after reducing ferric iron to ferrous state.
Why SnCl2 is more stable than SnCl4?
due to inert pair effect
What is the product of tin and chlorine?
There are two main products of tin and chlorine, SnCl2 and SnCl4.
What is the change in the oxidation number of Sn in the reaction 2FeCl2 plus SnCl4 -- SnCl2 plus 2FeCl3?
-2
Why sncl2 is solid but sncl4 is liquid?

What is the molecular geometry of SnCl4?
sp3 is the hybridization of the nitrogen atom in NCl3.
What is the for mula for tin chloride?
Tin (Sn) shows two oxidation states +2 and +4 so tin forms two types of chloride SnCl2 and SnCl4.
Equation for the reaction between zinc and copper chloride?
word equation is: iron sulphate + zinc = zinc sulphate + iron
What is the chemical formula for SnCl4?
That is the chemical formula. SnCl4 is the chemical formula for tin(IV) chloride.
How sncl4 more covalent than sncl2?
The halides in higher oxidation state posses high charge and are smaller in size as compared to the lower oxidation state halides.Thus, in higher oxidation halides the charge/radius ratio is higher which contribute to the increase in polarisation and consequently these are more covalent.(--AK)
What is the shape of SnCl4?
A tetrahedral shape.
Is SnCl4 is ionic compound?
yes it is
