What happens when iron reacts with sulfur?

Fe + S → FeS (heat) Page 2 Maine Geological Survey | 2 One atom of iron (or a million atoms of iron) and one atom of sulfur (or one million atoms of sulfur) react with heat to make one molecule of iron sulfide (or a million molecules of iron sulfide).

Can iron and sulfur be separated physically?

For example, powdered iron and powdered sulfur mixed together make a mixture of iron and sulfur. They can be separated from each other without a chemical reaction, in the way that different coloured sweets can be picked out from a mixed packet and put into separate piles.

Does iron sulfide sink or float?

Based on their responses, demonstrate that it is easy to separate them by using a bar magnet or putting the mixture in water (iron sinks and sulfur floats).

Buoyancy: What Makes Something Float Or Sink?

How does iron react with sulphur?

The equation for the reaction that produces the iron sulfide is: Fe + S → FeS (heat) Page 2 Maine Geological Survey | 2 One atom of iron (or a million atoms of iron) and one atom of sulfur (or one million atoms of sulfur) react with heat to make one molecule of iron sulfide (or a million molecules of iron sulfide).

How can iron and sulphur be separated?

For example, you can combine iron filings with sulfur to form a mixture. All it takes is a magnet to separate the iron from the sulfur. On the other hand, if you heat the iron and sulfur, you form iron sulfide, which is a compound; the iron and sulfur can no longer be separate from one another.

Does iron sulfide react with water?

When iron sulfide minerals are exposed to the atmosphere and water, the water becomes acid and enriched in iron that eventually leaves yellow and reddish deposits in its wake.

Iron + Sulfur

How do particles behave in the reaction between iron and sulphur?

Iron and sulphur react by bonding together: iron particles mix with sulphur particles to create iron-sulphide. It's a solid so all the particles are in a regular pattern and close together.

Can iron be physically separated?

Material -------- Solid Yes No.

Which conditions are necessary for reaction of iron and sulphur?

This is an addition reaction that produces iron sulphide. The equation for this reaction is: Fe + S ---> FeS The mixture of iron (Fe) and sulphur (S) must be heated to melt the sulphur and initiate the reaction. Once the reaction has started it generates its own heat (an exothermic reaction), and glows red hot.
