In summary: I thought you might be talking to a friend.In summary, Mrs. Teacher is trying to figure out why John is not coming to school today, and she is speaking to herself. She thinks that John is sick, and her father is speaking to her.

I have some ideas about the answer, but can you provide a context for how the question arises? I cannot see how nitrogen can possibly be involved in any reaction, but can see why you might be bubbling nitrogen through the reaction mixture. Similarly water is unlikely to have direct involvement.

OK then. I think the reaction you are wanting is carried out in aqueous solution with nitrogen bubbling through. The SnCl4 is a mild oxidant, designed to oxidize the methanol CH3OH to formaldehyde HCHO. Nitrogen is bubbled through the solution to remove dissolved oxygen, and prevent the oxidation reaction going further to formic acid HCOOH.
The reaction is SnCl4 + CH3OH → HCHO + SnCl2 + 2 H+ + 2 Cl–.
Formaldehyde forms network polymers when reacted with phenol or melamine or similar materials. It might also be used as a cross-linking agent to harden some of the films you are working with.
(Reason for asking my previous question was that I wanted to try to check that this was not homework before "spilling the beans".

You will be surprised when you learn what lies people tell to pretend the problem is not their homework.
- Mrs. Teacher? John is sick and he will not come to school today.
- Who is speaking?
- What do you mean "who is speaking"? My father!

Yeah, I did say "trying to check"!
FAQ: What are the products of the reaction: SnCl4 + CH3OH + N2 + H2O?
What does this equation mean?
The equation is a mathematical representation of a relationship between two or more variables. It can be used to solve for unknown values or make predictions.
How do I solve this equation?
The method for solving an equation depends on the type of equation and the variables involved. Generally, you can use algebraic manipulation or substitution to isolate the unknown variable and find its value.
