Question

strong heating of ferrous sulphate leads to the formation of a brown solid and two gases .this reaction may be categorised as
a) displacement and redox
b) decomposition and redox
c) displacement and endothermic
d) displacement and exothermic
PLEASE ANSWER WITH REASON

Answer 1

Answer:decomposition and exothermic

Explanation:

Answer 2

The reaction is both b) decomposition and redox

• Ferrous sulphate decomposes with the gas which has a characteristic odour of burning sulphur.
• This reaction is a decomposition reaction because FeSO4 splits into three different products.
• As Fe(II) is further oxidized to Fe(III) and also a part of S (VI) is reduced to S (IV), thus it is also a redox reaction.
