[Explain] Draw a labelled ray diagram of a compound microscope and explain its working

(Image 1 to be added soon)

A tiny object AB to be magnified is placed in front of the objective lens just beyond its principal focus fo’. In this case, the objective lens O of the compound microscope forms a real, inverted and enlarged image A’B’ of the object.

Now A’B’ acts as an object for the eyepiece E, whose position is adjusted so that A’B’ lies between optical centre C2 and the focus fe’ of eyepiece. Now the eyepiece forms a final virtual, inverted and highly magnified image A”B”. this final image A”B” is seen by our eye hold close to eyepiece, after adjusting the final image A”B” at the least distance of distinct vision of 25 cm from the eye.

[Explain] What is the color of ferrous sulphate crystals? How does this color change after heating? Name the products formed on strongly heating ferrous sulphate crystals. What type of chemical reaction occurs in this type of change.

The color of ferrous sulphate crystals is green.

 

Ferrous sulphate crystals contain water molecules (FeSO4. 7H2O). On heating, ferrous sulphate crystals lose water and anhydrous ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) is formed. So their colour changes from light green to white.

 

On further heating, anhydrous ferrous sulphate decomposes to form ferric oxide (Fe2O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and sulphur trioxide (SO3). So, the gas emitted smells like burning sulphur. 

 

In this reaction, the single reactant FeSO4 decomposes to form three different products. So, the reaction is a decomposition reaction.
