The green coloured crystals of ferrous sulphate changes to brownish black ferric oxide with evolution of sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide giving smell of burning sulphur.
It is a decomposition reaction as single reactant breaks down into many products.

Answer: The correct answer is- Ferric oxide [Fe₂O3] , SO₂ ( sulphur dioxide) and SO₃ ( sulphur trioxide).
Ferrous sulphate crystals [FeSO₄.7H₂O] are hydrated as they possess water of crystallization. On heating, the green colored ferrous sulphate crystals turn into white color anhydrous ferrous sulphate [ FeSO₄] and water is lost.
On further heating, a reddish brown powder of ferric oxide [Fe₂O3] is formed with the release of sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide gas.
