Iron-Powder
Product Code : JL-LE-11165
Iron-Powder (SKU JL-LE-11165, Model No. JL740/0108) is finely divided iron metal supplied by JaincoLab as an analytical reagent with an MSDS. Its classic school use is with sulphur: a magnet pulls the iron out of the cold mixture, but once heated the two form iron sulphide, which a magnet no longer attracts. It is also used in rusting and displacement experiments.

Frequently asked questions
How does iron powder show the difference between a mixture and a compound?
A magnet separates iron from a cold iron-sulphur mixture, but not from the iron sulphide formed after heating.
What happens when iron powder is added to copper sulphate solution?
Iron displaces copper, which appears as a brown deposit, and the blue colour fades.
