What is mixing sulfur with iron fillings?
When you mix Iron filings and Sulphur crystals together, you form a mixture of Iron and Sulphur from which both the components can be separated by physical means. But if you heat the mixture strongly, then it becomes a compound of Iron Sulphide from which the two components cannot be separated by physical means.
What happens to iron and sulphur when you add water?
The iron and sulphur split because the iron sinks and the sulphur floats so you can separate the mixture
Are there space between molecules in a mixture?
Yes there are spaces between molecules of mixtures. The only difference is that we can separately see particles in heterogeneous mixtures but cannot in the case of homogeneous mixtures as particles dissolve as a visible boundary is not formed. In a mixture of iron fillings and sulphur we separately see the particles thought the iron enters the inter molecular space between the particles of sulphur.
