Answer 1

Thermal decomposition reaction

Answer 2

The Type of reaction taking place in the given diagram is (b) Thermal Decomposition Reaction.

Explanation:

• Thermal Decomposition Reaction or Thermolysis is the chemical decomposition of a substance in the presence of heat.

• In the given diagram, The thermal decomposition reaction of Ferrous sulfate is being depicted.

• On heating, Ferrous sulfate crystals lose water to form anhydrous ferrous sulfate due to which the litmus paper becomes wet.

• On further heating, anhydrous Ferrous Sulfate decomposes to form ferric oxide, sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.

Hence, The Type of reaction taking place in the given diagram is (b) Thermal Decomposition Reaction.
