Glowing hot! Iron meets Sulfur
When iron and sulfur are heated together they join up and glow red hot, making a brand new substance called iron sulfide. It is no longer magnetic like iron!
The result
- What it makes
- Iron(II) sulfide
- Equation
- Fe + S → FeS
- When it happens
- When heated
Fun fact from Fizzy: A shiny mineral called "fool's gold" is made of iron and sulfur.
