EDIT: It was pointed out by KotMatvej that the solution doesn't actually boil, but it is electrolytic sides reactions which are producing gas. These are the two side reactions that he suggested:

2Cl- -- 2e = Cl2

2H2O - 4e = 4H+ + O2

This was an oversight on my part and I am glad he was able to point this out!

In this video we will be growing some tin crystals using a stannous chloride solution and some electrolysis.
