When green colored crystals of Ferrous Sulphate is heated, it decomposes to Ferric Oxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Sulphur dioxide.
The sulphur dioxide gas gives the burning smell.
FeSO4 ---> Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3
--------------------------
From this reaction we can observe that, a single substance breaks down or decomposes to give simpler substances.
This reaction is called Decomposition reaction.
--------------------------
Decomposition reaction can be further classified into :-
- Thermal decomposition - using heat
- Photo decomposition - using light
- Electrolytic decomposition - using electricity
-------------------------
Therefore the above reaction is Thermal Decomposition reaction.
