When Ferrous Sulphate is heated strongly, it decomposes to form ferric oxide, sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide.
Heat
2FeSO4 (s)---------------->Fe2O3 (s) + SO2 (g) +SO3 (g).
This is a double decomposition reaction in which green colour of ferrous sulphate changes to brown due to the formation of ferric oxide.
A smell of burning sulphur is obtained due to formation of sulphur dioxide gas.
This reaction is actually Thermal decomposition .

Answer:
Explanation:
When ferrous sulphate is strongly heated, it forms ferric oxide and
the reaction liberates sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide.
It is a type of thermal decomposition..
