Question

Iron filings can be separated from a mixture with sulfur by using a magnet.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

the answer is A. True

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixture of sulfur and iron filings can be separated by using magnet.

Magnets attract iron. This is because when iron is exposed to magnet, the electrons of the iron begin to align in the direction of magnetic field which creates attraction between iron and magnet. This phenomenon is called magnetism.

Sulfur does not have this property and hence, do not get attracted towards magnet.

So, if magnet is brought near the mixture of iron and sulfur, the iron will attach with magnet and get separated.
