Question

The amount of ferrous sulphate (FeSO₄ - 7H₂O) in tons equivalent to 1.0 ton of gypsum to improve soil is___?

A.

1.80 ton

B.

0.57 ton

C.

1.62 ton

D.

0.80 ton

Correct option is B

The equivalence of ferrous sulfate (FeSO₄ - 7H₂O) and gypsum for soil improvement depends on the nutrient content of the compounds. For improving soil, the amount of ferrous sulfate required to match the effect of 1 ton of gypsum is approximately 0.57 tons. This is due to the differences in their chemical composition and the way they affect soil properties like pH and fertility.
