If you put the magnet near the iron fillings, they will be drawn out by the magnetic pull of the 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.


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 happens if you start heating a mixture of sulfur powder and iron fillings?

Heating a mixture of sulfur powder and iron fillings will produce Generation of black iron sulfide (FeS) because of insufficient oxidation of sulfur into the iron oxide +3, and Fe2O3 iron sulfide is black, not yellow over iron sulfide (FeS2) ,can be called pyrite. Use iron fillings and sulphur powder and distinguish between these on the basis of: i) appearance i.e., homogeneity and heterogeneity ii) behavior towards a magnet iii) behavior towards carbon disulphide a solvent iv) effect of heat.


Heating iron fillings with sulfur powder?

When temerature is high enough: Fe + S --> FeS (+ heat, energy)


How would you separate a mixture of iron and sulfur?

Use a magnet to filter it out. Put the magnet in a plastic bag so the powder does not stick to the magnet directly. Put the powder into some water and the iron with sink and then you can get the sulphur first and then the iron. Added: The other possibility is to dissolve sulphur powder in Carbon disulphide ( CS2 ). The only disadvantage is, that this water immiscible fluid is rather stinky (rotten cauliflower) and highly flammable.

How do you separate powder from water?

The best process for separating powder from water depends on the powder. If the powder dissolves in the water, then boiling the water and condensing it (distillation), will separate the two components. If the powder does not dissolve in the water, then simple filtration will separate the two.


How can you separate iron powder from carbon powder?

a very simple and a common technique to separate them out is use a magnet. Since a magnet attracts iron , bring a strong magnet in front of the mixture and almost all of the iron powder gets separated


Would a screen be useful for separating a mixture of gravel and diatomaceous - earth powder?

yes it would. you could also separate it with a magnet then the gravel would stick to the magnet. +++ Magnetic gravel? You can separate diatomaceous earth from gravel simply by sieving. Gravel is not magnetic (unless it happens to be a magnetic ore of iron!).


How will you separate chalk powder iron filling?

Use a magnet to remove the iron filings. Filter the remainder to separate the insoluble chalk powder from the water. Wash and dry the iron filings as they will be contaminated. Dry the chalk powder to remove traces of water.
