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
Is iron sulphur a compound?
No Iron sulphide is a compound
Why is iron and sulphur compounds?
because a compound has 2 stages and the iron and sulphur have to be put together the put in fire
What makes iron sulphide?

What is the difference between iron and iron sulphide?
A mixture of Iron and Sulphur is exactly that, iron filings mixed with sulphur that has not undergone any chemical reaction. Iron sulphide is the result of the reaction of Iron with sulphur.
Why is iron and sulfur mixture but not compound?
If you just mix iron and sulphur together, you're still left with a pile of iron and sulphur that are distinctly separate and could be easily separated by throwing the mixture in water (iron sinks, sulphur powder floats). If they were to react together, to become iron sulphide, then they would be chemically bound to each other as a compound and wouldn't be able to be separated by physical means.
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 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 sulphur and iron are heated in a china dish why do they stick to it?
Because it has been melted and it only can be separated in chemical method
Why is iron bromide not magnetic?
Electrons in orbit around an atomic nucleus usually come in pairs, having opposite spin and hence having magnetic poles pointing in opposite directions, resulting in no net magnetism for the atom. Elemental iron has unpaired electrons making it magnetic. When the iron combines with sulphur, electrons from the iron atoms pair with those of sulphur atoms.
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
How do you separate iron from sulphur in a mixture of iron fillings and sulphur?
you an use a magnet to get the iron fillings out
What does iron and sulphur make?
Iron Sulphide
How is a mixture of iron and sulphur similar to iron sulfide?
its the same...... bar the fact that in iron sulphite the 2 chemicals have compouded were as iron and sulphur is still a mixture
What elements to iron sulphide contain?
iron and sulphur
