Tin metal (Sn) and purple iodine (I2) combine to form orange, solid tin iodide with an unknown formula.
 
Sn metal + solid I2 → solid SnxIy
 
Weighed quantities of Sn and I2 are combined, where the quantity of Sn is more than is needed to react with all of the iodine. After SnxIy has been formed, it is isolated by filtration. The mass of excess tin is also determined. The following data were collected:
 
Mass of tin (Sn) in the original mixture 1.056 g
 
Mass of iodine (I2) in the original mixture 1.947 g
 
Mass of tin (Sn) recovered after reaction 0.601 g
 
What is the empirical formula of the tin iodide obtained?
