Word equation for mixing sulfur and iron filings?

Is mixing iron filing and sulfur is a physical change?

It's just physical, unless you heat the mixture. The simple combination of iron and sulfur is a physical mixture: It can be separated with a magnet, and the iron and sulfur are still themselves. The situation changes if you heat the mixture hot enough to start a reaction between the sulfur and iron. If you do so, assuming the ingredients are in the right proportions, you'll have iron sulfide (a compound) and no free iron or sulfur will remain. In that case, you have a chemical reaction.


Have iron and sulfur undergone change in properties after mixing?

No. Making mixtures are physical changes and the chemical substances will not change.


Does simple mixing cause iron and sulfur to react?

No, they must be heated in order to react


Did a chemical reaction take place when sulferpowder and iron filling were mixed without heating explain your answer?

No, the sulfur and iron still have their individual properties. Iron is still magnetic and the sulfur can be dissolved by carbon disulfide leaving behind the iron.

What mineral is made by sulfur and iron and is also a mixture?

Pyrite is made of iron and sulfur and is the compound iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. It is not a mixture of iron and sulfur. The iron and sulfur are chemically combined to form a compound.


What elements are found in iron sulfate?

Iron sulfates contain iron, sulfur and oxygen.


When a mixture of iron and sulfur are heated how would you classify the resulting material?

It depends on the temperature. If you only heat moderately, you will still have a mixture of iron and sulfur, even if the sulfur has melted and formed a kind of cement with the iron. If you put the mixture in a vacuum, and then heat up to the combustion temperature of the mixture, then you would get some amount of iron sulfide, which is a compound. You need the vacuum so that the sulfur, for instance, does not react with oxygen and just burn down to sulfur dioxide gas, probably leaving the iron mostly unaffected. If you have the exact ratio of iron to sulfur for reaction, you will get only iron sulfide compound, but any other ratio will leave either some iron or some sulfur unreacted.
