The separation technique, magnetic separation is used to separate a solid-solid mixture. But WHAT IS A SOLID-SOLID MIXTURE ? It is a mixture made up of solids that are physically combined. Like..
SULFUR &IRON FILLINGS
The iron fillings are magnetic. That is why a magnet is used to separate the mixture. Want to know how?
Here are the steps !
1. Grab a magnet and hold it above the mixture to attract the iron fillings.
2. Gather the extracted iron fillings in another container.
3. Use the magnet again on the newly gathered iron fillings in the container to ensure that we obtain pure iron fillings only.
4. And woila ! We've separated the mixture !
What have we obtained ?
When the magnet was moved through the mixture, it attracted the iron filling but not the sand. This is how magnetic separation is used to separate mixtures.
Magnetic separation is also used in the real world.
REFLECTION !
I think magnetic separation is a very handy technique ! Imagine accidentally mixing iodine and sand. Everyones first reaction would be 'Oh no! How on earth am I to separate these now? Might as well buy a new one.' . But with this technique, we can separate the mixture faster than you can say butterscotch !

∙ 12y agoA temporary magnet (i.e. an electromagnet) can be used to separate elemental sulphur from elemental iron. When the magnet is switched on, the magnetic iron particles are attracted to the magnet, pulling them out of the iron-sulphur mixture. The non-magnetic sulphur particles are left behind. The iron can be collected from the electromagnet by moving it to another place, then switching it off, dropping the iron particles.
Iron-sulphur compounds, such as pyrite (FeS2) can be separated by a process known as electrolysis. In this process, the compound to be separated is melted or dissolved. Then, direct current electricity is passed through it. At the negative electrode, or cathode, where electrons enter the compound, positively charged iron ions are neutralized by adding electrons, forming iron metal. At the positive electrode, or anode, where electrons leave the compound, negatively charged sulphide ions are neutralized by stripping them of excess electrons, forming elemental sulphur.

∙ 12y agoYou cannot separate it with a magnet because during the chemical reaction, the iron has lost its magnetic attraction. the only way to separate them out again is to perform another chemical reaction.

Change in state when sulphur is heated?
YES.
Is sulphur a thermal insulator?
Sulphur is one of the best thermal insulators known, possibly due to the fact that electron-attracting terminal atoms are present.
What does small s mean in liquids?
Sulphur. If you google a chemical elements table it tells you that s = sulphur and then it tells you all the electrons and the chemical imbalance on it.
How do the battery separate the negative energy and the positive energy?
They most likely have something in the middle to keep them seperated.
Reaction of iron and sulfur using the big idea of energy?
Food is digested by your digestive system. During this process, starch is digested down into glucose by the enzyme amylase. From breathing we receive oxygen, which combines with glucose to produce energy, as well as carbon dioxide and water, which are excreted from the body. This process , in a symbol equation, is; glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy). This process is called aerobic respiration, and is the main type of respiration. This reaction for respiration to produce energy takes place in the mitochondria (small objects in the cytoplasm of the cell).
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
What does iron and sulphur make?
Iron Sulphide
How is a mixture of iron and sulphur similar to iron sulfide?
its the same...... bar the fact that in iron sulphite the 2 chemicals have compouded were as iron and sulphur is still a mixture
What elements to iron sulphide contain?
iron and sulphur
What elements are in iron sulfate?
Iron, Sulphur and Oxygen.
When iron and sulphur are combined what do you get?
Iron sulfides are obtained.
What elements does Iron Sulfide contain?
iron and sulphur
Is iron sulphur a compound?
No Iron sulphide is a compound
Why is iron and sulphur compounds?
because a compound has 2 stages and the iron and sulphur have to be put together the put in fire
What makes iron sulphide?
Iron and sulphur make iron sulphide
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.
