Iron sulfide is brown crystals. Iron is a silvery metal. Sulfur is bright yellow crystals. Sulfur burns with a bright flame. Iron doesn't burn and iron sulfide doesn't burn well.


When crystals of feso4 are strongly heated the residue obtained is?

The residue obtained from heating crystals of FeSO4 (iron(II) sulfate) is Fe2O3 (iron(III) oxide) and SO2 (sulfur dioxide) gases. This is because the heating process causes the iron(II) sulfate to decompose, releasing water vapor, sulfur dioxide gas, and leaving iron(III) oxide as a solid residue.


What is the apearrance of unheated sulfur and iron filings?

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.


What could you use to separate sulfur and iron?

You can use a magnet to separate iron from sulfur since iron is magnetic while sulfur is not. By using the magnet to attract the iron particles, you can separate them from the sulfur.
