While performing an experiment a student observes that when he heats some green crystals in a boiling tube, the colour of the crystals changes to brown and a gas evolves which smells like burning sulphur. Interpret the observations and results.

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) + SO2(g) + SO3(g)

2 g ferrous sulphate crystals are heated in a dry boiling tube. (i) List any two observations.

(i) Before heating, it is pale green.  After heating, it is brown or reddish brown. TWo observations are : (a) Change in state and colour. (b) Evolution of gas. (ii) Decomposition reaction. (iii) 2FeSO4(s) +Heat → Fe2O3(s) +...

Mention the colour of FeSO4.7H2O crystals. How does this colour change upon heating ?

Light green is the Colour of crystalline FeSO4.7H2O. Light green changes to reddish brown or brown upon heating. (i) FeSO4.7H2O+heat → FeSO4+7H2O (ii) 2FeSO4+heat → Fe2O3+SO2+SO3

2 g of lead, nitrate powder is taken in a boiling tube. The boiling tube is heated over a flame. Now answer the following :

(i) Brown fumes. white residue. (ii) Decomposition reaction  2Pb(NO3)2 →2PbO+4NO2+O2

You want to study a decomposition reaction by taking ferrous sulphate crystals in a boiling tube.

(i) Take a dry boiling tube. (ii) Keep mouth of test-tube away yourself.

A few crystals of copper sulphate are heated in B/F dry boiling tube :

(i) Blue and white respectively.  (ii) Water of crystallization is lost on heating. (iii) Yes' by adding water.

What is the colour of FeSO4.7H2O crystals ? How does this colour change upon heating ? Give balanced chemical equation for the changes.

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)

Crystals of a substance changed their colour on heating in a closed test-tube but regained it after sometime when they were allowed

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.

Miller experiment develop by Miller and hc urey but this experiment called only Miller experiment why not called urey experiment?

Stanley Miller, under the guidance of Professor Harold Urey, set up the Miller-Urey Experiment to test this hypothesis. He included basic chemicals that were present on Earth before life began:...

A student heated a few crystals of copper sulphate in a dry boiling tube. (a) What will be the color of the copper sulphate after heating?

(a) White (b) Yes (c) Copper sulphate crystals which seem to be dry contain water of crystallization.
