If you simply mix iron filings and sulfur crystals together, you get a mixture. The iron keeps the properties of iron (including its ability to be magnetized), and the sulfur retains the properties of sulfur. This mixture can be easily separated mechanically by simply passing a magnet nearby, which will magnetize and attract the iron filings. If you combine the two using heat, however, they iron and sulfur will chemically react to form the compound iron sulfide. This compound will have properties different from either the sulfur or iron. A magnet will no long separate the two (although it might attract excess iron that was not combined in the reaction). This experiment is meant to distinguish the properties of substances combined in mixtures versus substances combined as chemical compounds.
Sulfuric Acid Iron + Sulfuric Acid= Iron Sulfate + Hydrogen gas Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2
Iron can be reacted with sulfuric acid to produce iron sulfate. Iron sulfate can also be produced by reacting iron with sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.
To make iron sulfate, mix iron oxide with sulfuric acid. For iron hydroxide, mix iron sulfate with a strong base like sodium hydroxide to precipitate out the iron hydroxide. Iron oxide can be made by heating iron metal in the presence of oxygen.
When iron oxide is added to sodium hydroxide solution, a reaction occurs to form iron(III) hydroxide and water. The iron(III) hydroxide will appear as a brownish precipitate in the solution, while water remains as a liquid.
Iron sulfate is not an acid. It is a salt that is formed by the reaction between iron oxide or iron hydroxide with sulfuric acid. Iron sulfate is commonly used as a fertilizer or in water treatment processes.

Air, iron and water will cause the iron to rust.
When iron metal reacts with sodium hydroxide, iron hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced. The balanced equation for the reaction is: 2 Fe + 6 NaOH -> 2 Fe(OH)3 + 3 H2
It depends on whether it is iron (II) hydroxide or iron (III) hydroxide.
Iron hydroxide is a chemical compound made of iron (Fe) and hydroxide (OH) ions. It is commonly formed when iron reacts with water or hydroxide-containing compounds.
When sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with iron(II) sulfate (FeSO4), a displacement reaction occurs. The iron in the iron(II) sulfate is displaced by the hydrogen ions in sulfuric acid, resulting in the formation of iron(III) sulfate (Fe2(SO4)3) and water.
When ammonium hydroxide is added to iron (III) chloride, a brown precipitate of iron (III) hydroxide is formed. This brown color is characteristic of iron (III) hydroxide.
