Question

A student was given a mixture of iron of iron fillings and sulphur. He was told to heat it and observe the compound.
(a) What is coloured formed.
(b) Write the effect of magnet on it.
(c) Write the action of carbon disulphide on it.
(d) Describe the effect of adding dilute hydrochloric acid to it. ldentify the gas and write its two properties.​

Answer 1

The observations are as follows:

• black iron sulfide is formed
• iron sulfide is not magnetic
• No reaction observed with carbon sulfide
• hydrogen gas is evolved

What is the product of the reaction of iron fillings and sulfur when heated?

When a mixture of iron fillings and sulfur are heated, black iron (ii) sulfide is formed.

Unlike iron fillings, black iron (ii) sulfide is not attracted to a magnet.

When carbon sulfide is added to it, no visible reaction is observed.

When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to it, a gas with a rotten-egg smell is evolved.

The gas is hydrogen sulfide which is a reducing agents and acidic in nature.
