Answer

$m(Sn)=562.2g$

Work Step by Step

The following is the reaction of tin with chlorine: $Sn + 2Cl_{2} \rightarrow SnCl_{4}$ If the mass of tin that reacts is equal to $x$, than the mass of $SnCl_{4}$ that can be obtained is equal to: $m(SnCl_{4}) = x\times \frac{Mr(SnCl_{4})}{Mr(Sn)}\times 81.1\% \implies 1000g = x \times \frac{261}{119}\times 0.811 \implies x=562.2g$
