Detailed Solution

When ferrous sulphate crystals are heated in a dry test tube following changes are observed: 

1) A change in color and state occurs. 

2) A gas is produced during this process. 

Crystals of ferrous sulphate are considered to be light green before heating. When heated, ferrous sulphate crystals change to a brown or reddish-brown color. 

As the compound (ferrous sulphate) breaks down into two or more different compounds, it is a decomposition reaction. 

The chemical reaction is as follows:

2FeSO4(s)+HeatFe2O3+SO2(g)+SO3(g)

                                                          (OR)

Sodium Chloride and Hydrogen gas are formed when 1 mLof dil. Hydrochloric acid is added to 1 g of Sodium metal.
Metals react with acid to form salt and hydrogen gas.
The chemical reaction is as follows:

2Na+2HClNaCl+H2
