You need a magnet to separate iron from a mixture (not from a compound).

How do you obtain sulphur from a mixture of sulphur and iron fillings?

To obtain sulphur from a mixture of sulphur and iron fillings, you can use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the mixture. Then, you can heat the remaining mixture to sublimate the sulphur, which will turn into a gas and can be collected by condensing it back into a solid form.

Yes you can. Since the iron filings are magnetic, but sulphur is not - you can use a magnet to separate the two elements.


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.


How do you separate sulphur?

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.
