उत्तर
Thermal decomposition and thermal dissociation.
Decomposition of a compound on heating into two elements or element and compound or into two new compounds. It is an irreversible reaction.
Thermal dissociation is the decomposition of a substance into two or more simpler substances on heating but the reaction is reversible.

What is meant by a decomposition reaction?
When a green iron salt is heated strongly, its colour finally changes to brown and odour of burning sulphur is given out.
- Name the iron salt.
- Name the type of reaction that takes place during the heating of iron salt.
- Write a chemical equation for the reaction involved.
Two metals X and Y form the salts XSO4 and Y2SO4, respectively. The solution of salt XSO4 is blue in colour whereas that of Y2SO4 is colourless. When barium chloride solution is added to XSO4 solution, then a white precipitate Z is formed along with a salt which turns the solution green. And when barium chloride solution is added to Y2SO4 solution, then the same white precipitate Z is formed along with colourless common salt solution.
