To calculate the molar mass of Tin(II) fluoride, we need to find the molar mass of each element in the compound and then add them together.

Molar mass of Tin (Sn) = 118.71 g/mol
Molar mass of Fluorine (F) = 18.998 g/mol

Since there are two fluorine atoms in Tin(II) fluoride, we need to multiply the molar mass of fluorine by 2.

Molar mass of Tin(II) fluoride (SnF2) = 118.71 g/mol + (18.998 g/mol x 2)
Molar mass of Tin(II) fluoride (SnF2) = 118.71 g/mol + 37.996 g/mol
Molar mass of Tin(II) fluoride (SnF2) = 156.71 g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of Tin(II) fluoride (SnF2) is 156.71 g/mol.
