A compound, iron sulfide, is formed by chemical reaction between the iron and the sulphur. Depending on reaction conditions, either iron (II) or iron (III) sulphide or a mixture of both of them will be formed.

Do you mean iron powder mixed with sulphur powder? Fe(s) + S(s) ---> FeS (iron sulfide)


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


When you start heeting mixture of sulphur powder and iron filling you absorb that sulphur start melting or iron filling start melting?

iron starts melting


What happens to the mixture of iron fillings and sulphur powder after heating?

That produces a strongly exothermic reaction that results in the production of a grey substance, an iron sulphide. Please see the link.


Hypothesis of separating iron filing and sulfur powder?

As the mixture of iron filings and sulphur powder are together/mixed it can be easily separated by a magnet.


What happens when you put a magnet wrapped in cling film nearby iron and sulphur?

The magnet will attract the iron, but will not attract the sulphur.


What would happen if you pass a magnet over a mixture of iron fillings and sulfur powder?

The iron fillings are attracted by the magnet and separated from the sulphur powder.


When you heat iron oxide powder with magnesium powder?

you get magnesium oxide + iron


What happens if you start heating a mixture of sulfur powder and iron fillings?

Heating a mixture of sulfur powder and iron fillings will produce Generation of black iron sulfide (FeS) because of insufficient oxidation of sulfur into the iron oxide +3, and Fe2O3 iron sulfide is black, not yellow over iron sulfide (FeS2) ,can be called pyrite. Use iron fillings and sulphur powder and distinguish between these on the basis of: i) appearance i.e., homogeneity and heterogeneity ii) behavior towards a magnet iii) behavior towards carbon disulphide a solvent iv) effect of heat.


What was the new substance formed after heating the iron-sulfur mixture?

The result of heating iron filings and sulfur powder mixture shows an exothermic reaction which forms a compound, iron sulfide.


What happens when a mixture of iron filings and sulfur powder is heated?

If iron is put in water and oxygen is present the following will happen. 4 Fe + 3 O2 + 6 H2O -> 4 Fe(OH)3 Basically the Iron corrodes/rusts. The same thing will happen in moist air. This is why when paint is scratched off a car the metal eventually rusts


Why is it impossible to separate iron filings from sulphur after heating?

The application of heat caused the iron atoms and the sulfur atoms to merge into molecules of iron sulfide. In other words, heat changed the mixture to a compound.
