Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A mixture of iron and sulfur can be separated by
A
magnetic attraction.
B
distillation.
C
evaporation.
D
filtration.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is because iron is attracted to magnets, but sulphur being non-magnetic is not attracted. So, by bringing a magnet closer to the mixture, iron can easily separate out of it by getting attracted to the magnet and we will be left behind with the sulphur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Take a magnet and pass it through the mixture, in which case the iron filings will stick to the magnet, while the sulfur does not.

Detailed explanation-3: -A mixture of iron filling and sulphur powder can be separated by using a magnet. Magnetic separation is used in the process of concentrating an ore. It is used by pollution control boards to separate magnetic waste from scraps like aluminum cans, iron nails, coins, etc., thus helping to segregate waste. More items
