How do you separate a mixture of iron fillings and sulphur powder by use of methylbenzene
Answered by DrBob222
I assume methyl benzene will dissolve sulfur. Dissolve, filter and the iron filings stay in the filter paper. Let the filtrate sit and the solvent evaporates leaving the S behind.

Due to solubity of sulphur according to IUPAC it dissolves methylbenzene forming two substances therefore filter and evaporate the solvent to obtain sulphur
