Iron filings may or may not be pure. The ones used in experiments with magnets may not be pure iron. Most iron filings may have a few impurities. But iron (Fe) filings that are reagent grade will be very pure iron metal.

Is unheated sulfur and iron filings is substance or mixture?
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
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.
What is the densities of iron filings table salt pepper in water salt and iron filings and sugar in water?

How would you separate copper strands and iron filings?
I would separate copper strands and iron filings by using a magnet. The iron is magnetic, but the copper is not, so the magnet picks up the iron, but leaves the copper behind.
If a mixture of iron filings and sulfur will make the iron and sulfur atoms combined checically what would that be?
Iron sulfide
Are iron filings a compound mixture or element?
pure substance
Is an iron filings an element or a compound?
Iron is a chemical element; sand may be a compound or a mixture.
Is iron filings and sand a compound or an element?
compoundIf the iron fillings are pure, they contain only one type of atom (all the atoms have the same number of protons). Thus, the filings would be a sample of the element iron. If the filings are rusty, then they would contain compounds (iron oxides).
What mixture is ironfilling?
Iron filings just means metallic iron, shredded into little bits. It's an element, not a mixture.
Why are iron filings used to find the magnetic field when copper filings are not?
Copper filings are not attracted to a magnet, as iron filings are.
Are iron filings a mixture?
Iron filings may be pure elemental iron, it depends on the source of the iron.
What is the chemical formula for iron filling?
Iron fillings are pure iron - until they start rusting. So their formula is Fe.
What is the separation method for iron filings and sulphur to obtain iron filings?
magnetic separation.
What are the properties of iron filings?
iron
Is unheated sulfur and iron filings is substance or mixture?
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
What are iron fillings made of?
Iron is an element (can't be divided into two things), although steel is iron mixed with things like carbon, vanadium, manganese, chromium or tungsten. True iron filings are just little shavings of iron, but steel is often used. The extraction and processing of iron ore utilizes the magnetic property of iron, so almost all iron used already has a magnetic polarity "built in".
What forms of iron would rust the fastest thin iron plate iron nail solid iron cube fine iron filings?
