The correct answer is: $\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{SO}_4$
Light green crystals of ferrous sulphate lose water molecule and turn brown on exposure to air. This is due to its oxidation to \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{SO}_4\)
\(\stackrel{+2}{\mathrm{Fe}} \mathrm{SO} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}} ~\stackrel{+3}{\mathrm{Fe}}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{SO}_4\)
