Hey friend here is your answer


Ferrous sulphate FeSO4 when heated strongly , the following changes take place

1. The green colour of ferrous sulphate ( due to water of crystallization ) fades and it turns into reddish brown due to the formation of feeric oxide ( Fe2O3)

2. The smell of burning sulphur can be felt .

The following equation demonstrates this reaction ,

FeSO4----------------Fe2O3+SO2 +SO3

It is a thermal decomposition reaction as ferrous sulphate in the presence of heat decomposes to form reactant

Hope it helps you
