Explanation:
Carbon disulphide is the liquid that can be used to separate iron fillings and sulphur powder.
When carbon disulphide is poured into the dish, the sulphur powder gets easily dissolved in the carbon disulfide. The iron fillings are left to settle on the bottom of the dish.
The iron fillings can get seperated through filtration. When the mixture of sulphur powder and carbon disulphide gets completely evaporated, the sulphur powder is left over.

Explanation:
a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.
b) In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.
