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.


Why does oxygen have a higher energy than sulfur?

In group 6A, oxygen is at the top and sulfur is below oxygen. Ionization energy decreases going down a group. groups run vertically


What would happen if you drank argon?

You would probably die because it would freeze your mouth, blocking your airway. It wouldn't be smart to pour argon down your throat. :(


Does oxygen have a greatest atomic radius then sulfur?

Sulfer. The atomic radius increases as you go down a group.


Why is sulfur used in lawn fertilizer?

The sulfur slowly breaks down (with help from oxygen from the air and water) to produce an acid that lowers the pH of the soil. The lower pH of the soil helps make the iron naturally in the soil more available to the grass as a nutrient. Iron helps provide a deep green color. The soils in the western U.S. have a tendency to have a high pH and benefit from the use of sulfur. An excellent way to introduce sulfur to lawn is to use 'sulfur-coated urea' (SCU), which provides sulfur and nitrogen (the nitrogen is from the urea).
