Why is it easier to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur than to separate a compound of iron and sulfur?

Answer 1

because a mixture is physically combine while a compound is chemically combine thus make is eaiser for the mixture to separate using the technique magnetic separation.

Answer 2

It is easier to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur because the two substances retain their individual properties and can be physically separated by techniques like magnetism or filtration. In a compound of iron and sulfur, the atoms are chemically bonded, forming a new substance with different properties, making separation more challenging as it requires breaking chemical bonds through a chemical reaction.
