Question

During a science lesson on changes, Ms. Sloan's students made mixtures of sulfur (the yellow substance) and iron filings (the black substance. Ms. Sloan challenged her students to separate the two substances and one group easily completed the task by using a magnet to lift the iron filings from the mixture. Next, Ms. Sloan poured the same mixture into a test tube and heated it in the Bunsen burner flame. What was the result of heating the mixture?

Answer 1

Answer:

Both substance will melt and become a solution.

Explanation:

When a mixture of iron filings (black substance) and sulphur powder (yellow substance) are heated in a test tube under a bunsen burner, usually they will undergo a chemical reaction where they will melt to form a new solution of ferrous sulphide.

Thus, we can say what happens is that both substances melt to form a solution.
