Solutions are a type of mixture, so it's not really an either/or thing.
However, in order to be considered a solution, the mixture must be homogenous, and a mixture of sulfur and iron filings is decidedly not homogeneous on a microscopic level. So it's (just) a mixture, not the specific type of mixture called a solution.
What else can I help you with?
When a mixture of iron filings and sulfur is put in carbon disulphide in a test tube what can be observed?
When a mixture of iron filings and sulfur is put in carbon disulphide in a test tube, the sulfur will dissolve in the carbon disulphide, leaving behind the iron filings. The iron filings can be separated from the solution using a magnet.
Hypothesis of separating iron filing and sulfur powder?
The hypothesis for separating iron filing and sulfur powder using a magnet is that iron is a magnetic material, whereas sulfur is not. By using a magnet, we can separate the iron filings from the sulfur powder based on their magnetic properties.
You are given a mixture of sulfur potassium nitrate and carbon and asked to separate the components so you end up with a pile of solid sulfur a pile of solid potassium nitrate a pile of solid carbon?
So, you have a pile of gunpowder and you want to separate it. Right? Here's are some clues: Saltpeter (potassium nitrate) is soluble in water. Sulfur and carbon are not. Furthermore, sulfur is soluble in acetone but carbon is not. This assumes that you have pure carbon and not charcoal powder. Depending on the quality of the charcoal powder, it could be more or less soluble in different substances. But let's just take your teacher at his word: Carbon is carbon. If there is enough differential in particle size you could sift the mixture through a screen but that doesn't guarantee you'll get ALL the carbon, sulfur or saltpeter out of the mix. If the particles are all the same size that won't work at all. (OR) here is a better phrased answer: Answer: Gunpowder is a mixture of sulphur, charcoal and potassium nitrate (nitre). When water is added to the mixture potassium nitrate dissolves. The mixture is then filtered. The filtrate is potassium nitrate solution while the residue is a mixture of sulphur and charcoal. The filtrate is evaporated on a sand bath to obtain nitre back. When carbon disulphide is added to the residue, sulphur dissolves. When this mixture is filtered the filtrate is sulphur solution while the residue is charcoal. Leaving it open evaporates the sulphur solution. Carbon disulphide evaporates and sulphur crystals are left behind.
Why is it impossible to separate iron filings from sulphur after heating?
After heating iron filings and sulfur, they chemically react to form iron sulfide (FeS). This new compound cannot be easily separated back into its original components because it has different physical and chemical properties from iron and sulfur. Thus, it is difficult to separate iron filings from sulfur after heating.
How do you separate ammonium chloride and sulphur from its mixture?
Ammonium chloride is soluble in water, sulphur isn't. So mix the mixture with water and filter out the sulphur. Now evaporate the filtrate to obtain the ammonium chloride and permit the sulphur to dry.
When a mixture of iron filings and sulfur is put in carbon disulphide in a test tube what can be observed?
When a mixture of iron filings and sulfur is put in carbon disulphide in a test tube, the sulfur will dissolve in the carbon disulphide, leaving behind the iron filings. The iron filings can be separated from the solution using a magnet.
How do you obtain sulphur from a mixture of sulphur and iron fillings?
To obtain sulphur from a mixture of sulphur and iron fillings, you can use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the mixture. Then, you can heat the remaining mixture to sublimate the sulphur, which will turn into a gas and can be collected by condensing it back into a solid form.
How is mixture of common salt and powdered sulphur separate?
A mixture of common salt and powdered sulfur can be separated using water. Since salt is soluble in water while sulfur is not, adding water to the mixture allows the salt to dissolve. The undissolved sulfur can then be filtered out, leaving a solution of saltwater. Finally, the salt can be recovered by evaporating the water.
Two or more substances that have been combined but not chemically changed.?
A mixture is formed when two or more substances are combined physically but retain their individual properties. The components in a mixture can be separated by physical means, such as filtration or evaporation.
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.
How will you separate a mixture of aluminium and iron filings and sugar?
To retrieve the iron just use a magnet. To retrieve the sulphur just put the remaining mixture in water and dissolve it. Then using a filter paper filter the solution, the sulphur which is not soluble will remain on the filter paper and to retreive the sugar from the solution just re-crystallize it.
Is sulfur an element a compound a solution or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sulphur is an element. It is neither compound nor mixture.
How do you separate iron filings from sulphur?
use a magnet
Is an sulfur an element a compound a solution or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sulphur is an element. It is neither compound nor mixture.
What was the new substance formed after heating the iron-sulfur mixture?
The result of heating iron filings and sulfur powder mixture shows an exothermic reaction which forms a compound, iron sulfide.
What type of mixture results when adding sulphur to water?
Sulphur plus water is a nonhomogeneous mixture.
How do you separate sulphur from a mixture of sulphur and sand?
It is very simple
