Question

Which of the following statements is/are true or false?

Statements:
A) H$_2$S burns in air to give H$_2$O and SO$_2$
B) The decomposition of Ferrous Sulphate into Fe$_2$O$_3$, SO$_2$ and SO$_3$ occurs in the presence of heat.

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP/Technician 2018 CBT 2 Electronics Mechanic Question Paper (23-Jan-2019) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is
Statements A and B both are true

Analyzing Statement A: H2S Combustion

Statement A discusses the combustion of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in air. Combustion typically involves reacting a substance with oxygen (O2). When H2S burns in air, it reacts with oxygen to produce water (H2O) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2).

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

$ 2H_2S(g) + 3O_2(g) \rightarrow 2H_2O(l) + 2SO_2(g) $

Therefore, Statement A is true.

Analyzing Statement B: Ferrous Sulphate Decomposition

Statement B concerns the thermal decomposition of Ferrous Sulphate (FeSO4). When Ferrous Sulphate is heated strongly, it decomposes to form Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), and Sulfur Trioxide (SO3).

The balanced chemical equation for this decomposition is:

$ 2FeSO_4(s) \xrightarrow{\Delta} Fe_2O_3(s) + SO_2(g) + SO_3(g) $

This process requires heat, confirming the condition mentioned in the statement. Therefore, Statement B is true.

Conclusion on Statements

Based on the analysis:

  • Statement A is true.
  • Statement B is true.

Thus, both statements A and B are true.
