Question

Can you dissolve out sulphur from iron(2)sulphide using carbon disulphide

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, it can be done.

Sulphur can be dissolved out from Iron2 Sulphide by using Carbon Disulphide because Sulphur has the special property to dissolve in carbon disulphide whereas iron does not dissolve . On heating Iron with  Sulphur, they chemically combines to form Iron Sulphide. Iron and Sulphur particles does not exists separately as such they loose their individual property in this reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, we can seperate a mixture of S and FeS2 by a compound called Carbon Disulphide(CS2). ... CS2 dissolves sulphur but not FeS2, thus leaving it out as the residue. It is also used as test to distinguish between S and FeS2.
