The chemical reaction for the decomposition of ferrous sulphate is:
2FeSO4 (𝑠) → Fe2O3 (𝑠) + SO2 (𝑔) + SO3 (𝑔)
This is a decomposition reaction.
Question
Ferrous sulphate decomposes with the evolution of a gas having a characteristic odour of burning sulphur. Write the chemical reaction involved and identify the type of reaction.
