Solution
The method for separating a mixture of iron filings and sulphur powder, employs the use of carbon disulphide as a solvent followed by filtration and evaporation.
Sulphur dissolves in carbon disulphide, whereas iron does not. So, the solution will contain undissolved iron in it. This can then be filtered using a filter paper, where iron remains as residue and is collected on the filter paper. The filtrate obtained contains sulphur dissolved in it. On evaporating the solvent of the filtrate, we obtain sulphur.

There is a large group of materials P which can be divided into three groups Q, R and S on the basis of their properties. The substances belonging to group Q can be solids, liquids or gases. The solids belonging to group Q are usually electrical insulators. Most of the substances of group R are solids which are good conductors of electricity. The substances belonging to group S are neither insulators like Q nor good conductors like R. The properties of S are intermediate between those of Q and R.
