How did the properties of the sulfur alone compared with the sulfur in the unheated iron sulfur combination?

Sulfur before being heated in the mixture weighs less and is less reactive than in the heated mixture.

What compounds are formed when iron and zinc react?

Metals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) commonly form oxides (in combination with oxygen). Iron(II)Oxide is Fe0. Zinc oxide is ZnO.If the question intended to ask "what is formed when they react together" the answer is, they don't form compounds because they are cations (positive ions in an ionic compound).


What process do certain prokaryotes use nitrates or sulfates rather than oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor?

"Anaerobic respiration" doesn't require oxygen. True anaerobic respiration involves an electron acceptor other than oxygen. Bacteria are capable of using a wide variety of compounds as terminal electron acceptors in respiration: nitrogenous compounds (such as nitrates and nitrites), sulfur compounds (such as sulfates, sulfites, sulfur dioxide, and elemental sulfur), carbon dioxide, iron compounds, manganese compounds, cobalt compounds, and uranium compounds.

Are iron and sulfur metals?

Iron is a metal but sulfur is a nonmetal.


Is iron filings and sulfur a element a mixture or a compound?

Both are elements and since they aren't bond together they are not compounds. Thus they are in a mixture


What mineral is made by sulfur and iron and is also a mixture?

Pyrite is made of iron and sulfur and is the compound iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. It is not a mixture of iron and sulfur. The iron and sulfur are chemically combined to form a compound.


What elements are found in iron sulfate?
