Question

14 Consider the following reaction
2FeSO, (s) - Fe, O3(s) + SO2 (g) +SO, (g)
Is it a redox reaction or not? If yes, why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes it is a Redox Reaction.

Explanation:

The above mentioned equation is Thermal decomposition of iron(II) sulphate to iron(III) oxide as in Redox Reaction one species undergoes oxidation while another species undergoes reduction and same we can see here.

NOTE: Most thermal decompositions doesn't involve redox reactions. FeSO4 is a special case of reducting cation plus oxidizing anion.
