it is because iron is solid and can easily sublimes in aqueous copper sulphate

Could separate iron filings from copper sulphate and copper oxide with a magnet?

Yes, a magnet would remove the iron filings without attracting the copper salts, copper salts are not magnetic.


Why do you use copper sulphate?

A rather incomplete question. I could use copper sulphate for a number of reasons, for example as an electrolyte for copper plating, as a medium for growing impressive deep blue crystals, as a fungicide and so on. For fun, try dropping some iron filings into a fairly concentrated solution of copper sulphate and observe how the iron filings change to a copper colour and the solution changes to a green colour.


What happened when iron filings were added into the test tube that had water and copper sulfate in it?

actually, the real experiment is to have two test tubes, one with hot water and copper sulphate and other with vinegar and iron fillings. so you put two drops of the filings in the copper sulphate one and cover test tube with your thumb. then strike a match and keep it near the mouth of the tube, when pressure builds remove your thumb and it explodes. [ tiny explosion] But if u add water ,copper sulphate with iron fillings, then it turns all brownish and stuff, thats cuz the irons stronger then the sulphate or something... i hope it helped!!!


Why are iron filings used to find the magnetic field when copper filings are not?

Copper filings are not attracted to a magnet, as iron filings are.


What is the difference between cross filings and draw filings?

cross filings remove materials and draw filings smooths it down that's what i read anyway


Are iron filings magnetic?

Yes, iron filings are magnetic.


What is the density of aluminum filings?

The density of pure aluminum is 2.7.Filings have a packing ratio of roughly 0.6 so the density of the filings is about 1.6. this of course depends greatly on the size and shape of the filings.


What is the separation method for iron filings and sulphur to obtain iron filings?

One method to separate iron filings and sulfur is to use a magnet. The iron filings are attracted to the magnet and can be easily separated from the sulfur. This method takes advantage of the magnetic properties of iron filings.


Separate iron filings and aluminum filings?

Aluminum and iron can be differentiated because iron is magnetic and aluminum is not. To separate them, expose the filings to a magnetic source and the iron will separate.


Is unheated sulfur and iron filings is substance or mixture?

Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.


How do you separate iron and copper filings?

One way to separate iron and copper filings is by using a magnet. Since iron is magnetic, you can use a magnet to attract and separate the iron filings from the copper filings, which are not magnetic. Alternatively, you can dissolve the mixture in a solvent, filter out the copper filings, and then evaporate the solvent to retrieve the iron filings.


What is a word equation for the single-displacement reaction of iron and copper sulfate?

The iron will displace the copper as it is more reactive. here's the equation: iron + copper sulphate = iron sulphate +copper
