It shows the
exothermic reaction
of two elements, iron and sulfur, to form the compound, iron sulfide. The two solids are mixed and heated in a test-tube (or ignition tube). The reaction can be used to illustrate elements, mixtures and compounds.
What type of reaction is iron and sulfur?
It shows the
exothermic reaction
of two elements, iron and sulfur, to form the compound, iron sulfide. The two solids are mixed and heated in a test-tube (or ignition tube). The reaction can be used to illustrate elements, mixtures and compounds.
What type of reaction is iron II sulfide?
When iron and sulfur are mixed and heated in a test tube, it undergoes
an exothermic reaction
to produce iron(ii) sulfide.
What kind of reaction is Fe S FeS?
Fe+S=Fes is
oxidation or reduction
.
What type of chemical reaction is present when iron sulfide is formed?
When iron sulfide is exposed to oxygen it reacts rapidly, releasing large amounts of heat. This
exothermic reaction
can be an ignition source for any oil or gas that is present.
What happens when sulfur reacts with iron?
Iron and sulfur react together when
they are heated to make a compound called iron sulfide
. … the iron and sulfur atoms are not joined together in the mixture, but they are joined together in iron sulfide.
What is the difference between iron and sulfur?
In a mixture of iron and sulfur,
iron is still a silvery color and is attracted to a magnet
, whereas sulfur maintains its yellow color and is not attracted to a magnet.
What is iron sulfide properties?
Grey, sometimes in lumps or powder.
Density

Could you remove the iron from the iron sulfide using a magnet?
Answer: the iron and sulfur still behave like iron and sulfur in the mixture, but iron sulfide has different properties from both iron and sulfur.
you can separate the iron from the mixture using a magnet
, but this does not work for iron sulfide.
What type of reaction is FeS S S → FeS S?
The reaction is
exothermic
, which means that iw will give off heat as it progresses. The reaction will form the black solid iron(II) sulfide, FeS .
What is FeS called?
Pyrrhotite, which is chemically called
iron sulfide
, has the ideal formula FeS (Fe = iron, S = sulfur).
Is iron sulfide harmful?
Slightly toxic by ingestion
. Will react with acids to produce toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. Target organs: None known. This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
What is iron sulfide made of?
Iron sulfide or Iron sulphide can refer to range of chemical compounds composed of
iron and sulfur
.
