when ferrous sulphate is heated strongly it decomposes to form ferric oxide sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide
Answers
The reaction in skeletal symbolic form can be written as below:
FeSO₄ → Fe₂O₃ + SO₂ + SO₃
On counting the no. of atoms on both sides, we have
Fe - 1 Fe - 2
S - 1 S - 2
O - 4 O - 8
On LHS, if we make Fe 2 from 1, we get
2FeSO₄ → Fe₂O₃ + SO₂ + SO₃
Fe - 2 Fe - 2
S - 2 S - 2
O - 8 O - 8
Here, since the no. of atoms on both sides are equal, it is a balanced one.

hey mate here is your ans .....
As much as i know ... here i am elaborated this ...i hope it will help u to understand ____
..........
in this reaction the single reactant Feso4 decomposes to form three different products . so the reaction is a decomposition reaction ....
2 feso4 (s) ------->Fe2o3(s) +So2 (g)+so3
anhydrous ferric oxide
ferrous brown
sulphate
