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 !

Is sulphur a thermal insulator?
Sulphur is actually a good thermal conductor rather than an insulator. It has a high thermal conductivity, meaning it can transfer heat energy easily. This is why sulphur is often used in applications where thermal conductivity is desired, such as in certain types of laboratory equipment.
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).
Change in state when sulphur is heated?
When sulfur is heated, it undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid, and then from liquid to gas due to sublimation. Sulphur does not undergo a direct change from solid to gas.
What is the plural of iron?
The plural of iron is "irons."
What has more protons iron or phosphorus?
Iron has more protons than phosphorus. Iron has 26 protons while phosphorus has 15 protons.
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 does Iron Sulfide contain?
iron and sulphur
What elements to iron sulphide contain?
iron and sulphur
What happens when you put a magnet wrapped in cling film nearby iron and sulphur?
The magnet will attract the iron, but will not attract the sulphur.
Fe+S->Iron+sulphur?
Fed or Iron sulfate
When you start heeting mixture of sulphur powder and iron filling you absorb that sulphur start melting or iron filling start melting?
iron starts melting
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.
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
Is iron and sulphur an element or a compound?
iron and sulphur is an element because there is the tiniest amount of a specific type of atom inside the different chemicals.
