Detailed information about the equation 2FeSO4 -> 2Fe2O3 + 2SO2 + O2 -> :
The equation shows the decomposition reaction of iron(II) sulfate (FeSO4) to form iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxygen (O2). -
Reaction conditions:
This reaction takes place when iron(II) sulfate is heated. -
Reaction process:
When iron(II) sulfate is heated, it decomposes to form iron(III) oxide, sulfur dioxide, and oxygen. -
Phenomenon occurs:
When heated, the iron(II) sulfate changes from blue to brown due to the formation of iron(III) oxide. Simultaneously, we can also smell the characteristic odor of sulfur dioxide.
