X is a mixture of iron filings and sulphur and Y is a product obtained by heating the
mixture X and crushing it to a fine powder. On bringing a magnet over both X and Y
Rahul observed that:
(a) X and Y both are attracted. (b) X is attracted while Y is not.
(c) Y is attracted while X is not. (d) Both X and Y are not attracted
Answer
..........
Rahul observed X is attracted while Y is not. X is a mixture of iron and sulphur, and in a mixture the inherent properties of components are not lost. But when this mixture is heated then Iron and Sulphur react to form Iron Sulphide, which is a different compound.
A compound will not exhibit properties of the constituent elements. Iron is magnetic. But, Sulphur and Iron Sulphide are non-magnetic.
Hence only the iron from X is attracted.
