Question

A green coloured compound ‘X’ on heating decomposes to give reddish brown compound and two gases. Name the compound X. Write the chemical equation of the reaction stating its type.

Answer 1

$Here \: is \: the \: answer \: of \: your \: question$

`$\textbf{X = FeSO4}$`

→ Explanation :-

Green coloured compound means FeSO4 which on heating decomposes to give reddish brown compound i.e. Fe2O3 and two gases namely, SO2 and SO3

`$\textbf{Chemical Reaction}$`

2FeSO4 + (heat) ------› Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3

Here,

FeSO4 = Ferrous sulphate

Fe2O3 = Iron oxide

SO2 = Sulphur dioxide

SO3 = Sulfur trioxide

`$\textbf{Type of reaction}$`

→ It is a Decomposition Reaction.

As a single compound break down into two or more compounds then it is known as decomposition reaction.
