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 are three substances X, Y and Z. The substance X does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance Y is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance Y has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance Z is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance Z can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as Y.
