Question

A small amount o ferrous sulphate is heated in hard glass test tube what type of reaction is taking place​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The chemical formula is FeSO4.2H2O. Ferrous sulphate crystals (FeSO4.7H2O) lose water when heated and the colour of the crystals changes. It then decomposes to ferric oxide (Fe2O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and sulphur trioxide (SO3).

Answer 2

Answer:

Decomposition reaction.

2FeSO4(s) +Heat → Fe2O3(s) + SO2(g) + SO3(g
