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.

∙ 6y agoThey have no physical reaction, but for a chemical reaction, the two elements are placed in a test tube, and are heated. The sulfur melts, henceforth reacting with the iron to create Iron Sulfide (FeS). Precautions should be taken with this experiment too, as toxic and corrosive gases are emitted.

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 is the difference between iron and iron sulphide?
A mixture of Iron and Sulphur is exactly that, iron filings mixed with sulphur that has not undergone any chemical reaction. Iron sulphide is the result of the reaction of Iron with sulphur.
What is the differenceof the reactants before and after an iron sulphur reaction?
the iron is classified as non metal afta the reaction because its dull and brittle.
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 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.
Is iron sulphide made by mixing iron and sulphur together?
Yes, the reaction is possible when the mixture is heated.
What happens to iron and sulphur when you add water?
The iron and sulphur split because the iron sinks and the sulphur floats so you can separate the mixture
How do you separate iron from sulphur in a mixture of iron fillings and sulphur?
you an use a magnet to get the iron fillings out
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.

When iron is heated with sulphur iro sulphide is formed what is that reaction calles?
When two different elements react to form a compound, the reaction can always properly be called a synthesisreaction.
What does iron and sulphur make?
Iron Sulphide
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.
