Iron powder is attracted by a magnet, sulfur is dissolved in carbon disulfide, but be careful: it is explosive, toxic and stinks (rotten cauliflower)

How could you separate a mixture of iron fillings and sulfur powder?
Use a magnet to lift out the iron filings.
What is appearance of the mixture of iron and sulfur?
brown powder
Why is it easier to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur than to separate a compound of iron and sulfur?
because a mixture is physically combine while a compound is chemically combine thus make is eaiser for the mixture to separate using the technique magnetic separation.
Can Iron filings be separated from a mixture with sulfur by using a magnet?
Yes, a magnet is one way that can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur.
How could a student use a magnet to indicate that combining iron an sulfur to produce the mixture of iron and sulfur is a physical change?
A mixture of iron and sulfur can be separated using a magnet- the iron will be attracted to the magnet, sulfur will not. Not the that the iron could be coated with sulfur powder so an extra step is required to remove it.

What type of mixture is formed when iron filling reacts with sulfur powder?
Reacting iron with sulfur an iron sulfide is formed, not a mixture.
What is appearance of the mixture of iron and sulfur?
brown powder
What indivudual physical properties of sulfur powder and iron powder when they were a mixture?
the color
Describe how to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur?
Iron powder is attracted by a magnet (so it can be 'drawn' away),Sulfur is dissolved in carbon disulfide (so it can be filtered through, leaving iron behind),But be careful: it is explosive, toxic and stinks (rotten cauliflower)
What liquid can be used to separate mixture of iron filings and sulfur?
Carbon disulfide can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur. This is because carbon disulfide can be used to dissolve sulfur, thus leaving you with the iron filings.
How do you separate iron fillings and sulfur powder?
you use a magent

Which device is used to separate iron dust and sulfur?
magnet is used to seperate iron dust and sulfur dust mixture
What is mixture mean?
A "mixture" is a group of several chemicals that have been mixed together in such a way they can be easily separated, usually without altering the state of matter of any of the chemicals. Iron filings and sulfur powder would be a mixture; you can separate the two with just a magnet. Similarly, sand and sulfur powder would be a mixture. Just put it in water; the sulfur will float and the sand will sink.
