Correct answer: 7 / P = 4 (CORRECT STRUCTURES), Q = 3 (INCORRECT STRUCTURES). (P^2 - Q^2) = 16 - 9 = 7. Step 1: 'Butter of tin' is the traditional chemical name for the pentahydrate of stannic chloride. Step 2: Stannic chloride pentahydrate is a crystalline solid with a soft, semi-solid appearance at certain temperatures. Step 3: The chemical formula of this compound is SnCl4.5H2O, which corresponds to option (d).
