The iron and sulphur are heated to a certain temperature until they start to react with each other. The iron and sulphur bind together in the heating process and turn into one compound. That compound is IRON SULPHIDE. When the two are both chemically joined they turn red in colour and the process of turning the mixture in to the compound is complete.

What elements does Iron Sulfide contain?

iron and sulphur


How do the particles behave in the reaction between iron and sulphur?

The iron atoms absorb enough energy to lose three electrons each and become iron(III) ions. The octa-atomic sulphur molecules absorb enough energy to become sulphur atoms. These atoms each gain two electrons to become sulphide ions with a -2 charge each. Since electrons are conserved, 1½ times as many sulphur atoms so react as do iron atoms. These ions now form a solid and give up energy. The overall process gives up energy (enough so that some of the solid goes off as a smoke).Depending on how far you are in chemistry, you could get by with this explanation, or you could discuss whether the iron(III) sulphide formed is a simple ionic solid as described or something a bit more complicated.


What is the formula for iron sulphide?

The two possible formulaunits for Iron Sulfide are; FeS, and Fe1S1


What two products are formed when iron sulphide is heated in air?

Solid iron oxide and a poisonous called sulphur dioxide


How colud you conduct a practical to make iron sulfide?

Preparation of Iron Sulphide can be easily done by using heating process.Things You Need:Iron pieces(small)Sulphur PowderPetri dishesBurnerProcedure:First of all mix Iron and sulphur in a ratio of 7:4 by weight.Put them in a petri dish.Start heating the mixture.Soon the yellow sulphur will darken to black.The remaining black compound is iron sulphide.Precautions:Sulphur is highly flammable so be careful while heating.

What mass of iron is needed to react with 16 grams of sulfur?

iron forms iron sulphide when reacts with sulphur, Fe + S = FeS in this reaction 32 g of sulphur require 56 g of iron so 16 g sulphur requires 28 g of iron.


What is the difference between iron and iron sulphide?

Iron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe, while iron sulfide is a compound made up of iron and sulfur with the chemical formula FeS. Iron is a pure metal, while iron sulfide is a chemical compound that forms when iron reacts with sulfur. Iron sulfide is often found in nature as the mineral pyrite, also known as "fool's gold."


What is the differenceof the reactants before and after an iron sulphur reaction?

Before the reaction, the reactants would be iron and sulfur. After the reaction, the products would be iron sulfide. The difference between the reactants and products is the chemical composition and properties of the substances involved.

Is iron sulphide made by mixing iron and sulphur together?

Yes, the reaction is possible when the mixture is heated.


What happens when you heat iron powder with sulphur powder?

A compound, iron sulfide, is formed by chemical reaction between the iron and the sulphur. Depending on reaction conditions, either iron (II) or iron (III) sulphide or a mixture of both of them will be formed.


Why when iron is heated with sulphur iron sulphide is formed the total mass of iron and sulphur is equal to the mass of iron sulphide?

According to John Dalton matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. The law of conservation ofass given by A Lavoisier suggest that total mass of products is equal to the the total mass of reactants .In other words there is no change in mass during a chemical reaction.

What happens to the mixture of iron fillings and sulphur powder after heating?

That produces a strongly exothermic reaction that results in the production of a grey substance, an iron sulphide. Please see the link.


What is iron plus sulphur?

Iron plus sulfur react to form iron sulfide. This is a chemical reaction that takes place when iron powder is mixed with powdered sulfur in the presence of heat. The reaction produces a black compound called iron sulfide.
