Why is iron and sulfur mixture but not compound?

If you just mix iron and sulphur together, you're still left with a pile of iron and sulphur that are distinctly separate and could be easily separated by throwing the mixture in water (iron sinks, sulphur powder floats). If they were to react together, to become iron sulphide, then they would be chemically bound to each other as a compound and wouldn't be able to be separated by physical means.


Is heated sulfur and iron fillings is substance or mixtures?

Heating sulfur with iron fillings lead to the formation of iron sulfide - a chemical compound.


If a mixture of iron filings and sulfur will make the iron and sulfur atoms combined checically what would that be?

When iron filings and sulfur are heated together, they form iron sulfide, a compound with the chemical formula FeS. This is a chemical reaction where the iron and sulfur atoms combine to form a new substance with different properties than the original elements.


Why there is no substance formed when sulfur and iron is heated?

When sulfur and iron are heated together, they react to form iron sulfide. Iron sulfide is a compound, not a mixture, so it does not show the properties of its individual elements like sulfur and iron. The formation of this compound is a chemical reaction where the atoms of sulfur and iron rearrange to create a new substance with different properties.


What is the name of the compound formed when magnesium and sulfur are heated?

The compound formed when magnesium and sulfur are heated is magnesium sulfide (MgS).

Iron sulfide


Does a jar with sulfur and iron in it contain a compound?

A jar with sulfur and iron does not contain a compound, as compounds are made up of two or more different elements chemically combined in fixed ratios. Instead, the sulfur and iron would be considered a mixture of elements.


How is iron sulphide a compound and not just a mixture of iron and sulfur?

Because in a chemical compound is a chemical bond between the elements. From a mixture of iron and sulfur iron can be separated with a magnet.


Is iron sulphide element or compound?

It is a compound because it is composed of the elements iron and sulfur.

What type of substance is the iron and sulfur combination?

Iron and sulfur combination forms a chemical compound known as iron sulfide, specifically iron (II) sulfide. This compound is a binary compound composed of iron and sulfur atoms in a 1:1 ratio, and it has properties distinct from its individual elements.

When a mixture of iron and sulfur are heated how would you classify the resulting material?

It depends on the temperature. If you only heat moderately, you will still have a mixture of iron and sulfur, even if the sulfur has melted and formed a kind of cement with the iron. If you put the mixture in a vacuum, and then heat up to the combustion temperature of the mixture, then you would get some amount of iron sulfide, which is a compound. You need the vacuum so that the sulfur, for instance, does not react with oxygen and just burn down to sulfur dioxide gas, probably leaving the iron mostly unaffected. If you have the exact ratio of iron to sulfur for reaction, you will get only iron sulfide compound, but any other ratio will leave either some iron or some sulfur unreacted.


Describe why iron filings and sulfur can be classified as element compound or mixture?

Because in a chemical compound is a chemical bond between the elements. From a mixture of iron and sulfur iron can be separated with a magnet.
