(i) Change in colour: Reaction between lead nitrate solution and potassium iodide solution.
Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2KI → PbI2(s)+2KNO3(aq)
In this reaction, colour changes from colourless to yellow.
(ii)Change in temperature: Action of dilute sulphuric acid on zinc.
Zn(s)...
Observation: The green colour of ferrous sulphate crystals changes to brownish black ferric oxide and smell of burning sulphur is observed.
Result: Heating of ferrous sulphate is a thermal decomposition reaction because of ferrous sulphate breaks down into simpler compounds-Fe2O3, SO2 and SO3.
2FeSO4(s) +Heat → Fe2O3(s) +...
FeSO4.7H2O is green in colour and loses water of crystallisation when it is heated.
It is then decomposed to Fe3O, (brown coloured), SO2 and SO3
FeSO4.7H2O + Heat→ FeSO4 + 7H2O
2FeSO4 (s)+Heat → FeSO4 +SO2(g) +SO3(g)
(i) CuSO4.SH2O
CuSO4.5H2O Heat →CuSO4+5H2O
CuSO4.5H2O-(Blue)
CuSO4+5H2O-(White)
(ii) Explanation: On heating, crystal loses water of crystallisation and regain it on cooling
Copper sulphate crystals (CuSO4.5H2O)
5 molecules of water are present in one formula unit of copper sulphate. When heated, its loses its water and salt turns white.
