Want this question answered?
Sulfur is an element and therefore a substance out of the two.
Copper Sulfide is a wholly different chemical from copper and sulfur, and thus shows different characteristics and is not dividable by physical means, while a mixture of copper and sulfur powder is just a physical mix.
I know what it is. It is the removal of sulfur form a fuel source (especially coal) before it is combusted to produce electricity. What I am trying to find out is the main methods for desulfurization
One if it is pure sulfur. Sulfur is an element so the on atom is sulfur!
An ion is different from its parent atom in the differing number of electrons. As the number of electrons goes up, the charge becomes more negative. Correspondingly, as the atom loses electrons, the net charge goes positive.
Sulfur is an element.
Sulfur is an element and therefore a substance out of the two.
wiggily?
No, it is purely a single element.
No, it is a mixture, as they are not liquids.
why is the symbol for the element sulfur different from the formula fod a molecule of sulfur
Sulfur will not dissolve in water, it can in carbon disulfide (CS2)
Adding a Oxidizing agent to a solution of S2O32- ions precipitate out white sulfur.
by solvent extraction. sulfur can be dissolve in carbon di sulphide solution.
Iron fillings has the property of being magnetic, so you could pass it through a magnetic drum to remove it leaving sulfur and sand. Since sulfur is a solute it will dissolve in water leaving sand and forming a solution. You can then pass that through a filter separating the sand and the solution containing water and sulfur. Now you can put the solution in an evaporating basin to evaporate the water leaving the sulfur.
sulfur sodium chloride sand is a homogeneous mixture (solution)
Sulfur ions are sulfur atoms that have gained two electrons.
