I assume "iron filling" is supposed to mean iron filings? In this case, I would use a magnet to separate the two. The iron filings will stick to the magnet, leaving the sulfur behind.

What can a mixture of iron and sulfur be separated by?
magnetic attraction
Is a mixture of iron filling and sulfur homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Heterogeneous
Can Iron filings be separated from a mixture with sulfur by using a magnet?
Yes, a magnet is one way that can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur.
How could a student use a magnet to indicate that combining iron an sulfur to produce the mixture of iron and sulfur is a physical change?
A mixture of iron and sulfur can be separated using a magnet- the iron will be attracted to the magnet, sulfur will not. Not the that the iron could be coated with sulfur powder so an extra step is required to remove it.
Is mixing iron filing and sulfur is a physical change?
It's just physical, unless you heat the mixture. The simple combination of iron and sulfur is a physical mixture: It can be separated with a magnet, and the iron and sulfur are still themselves. The situation changes if you heat the mixture hot enough to start a reaction between the sulfur and iron. If you do so, assuming the ingredients are in the right proportions, you'll have iron sulfide (a compound) and no free iron or sulfur will remain. In that case, you have a chemical reaction.
A mixture of iron filings and sulfur can easily be separated by?
by using a magnet
Is powdered sulfur and iron filling a mixture or a solution?
a mixture
Is iron filings and powdered sulfur a homogeneous mixture?
No, the mixture of powdered sulfur and iron filling are not a homogenous mixture, they are a heterogenous mixture.
What can a mixture of iron and sulfur be separated by?
magnetic attraction
Is a mixture of iron filling and sulfur homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Heterogeneous
What type of mixture is formed when iron filling reacts with sulfur powder?
Reacting iron with sulfur an iron sulfide is formed, not a mixture.
Hypothesis of separating iron filing and sulfur powder?
As the mixture of iron filings and sulphur powder are together/mixed it can be easily separated by a magnet.
Can Iron filings be separated from a mixture with sulfur by using a magnet?
Yes, a magnet is one way that can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur.
What is mixture mean?
A "mixture" is a group of several chemicals that have been mixed together in such a way they can be easily separated, usually without altering the state of matter of any of the chemicals. Iron filings and sulfur powder would be a mixture; you can separate the two with just a magnet. Similarly, sand and sulfur powder would be a mixture. Just put it in water; the sulfur will float and the sand will sink.
Describe how to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur?
Iron powder is attracted by a magnet (so it can be 'drawn' away),Sulfur is dissolved in carbon disulfide (so it can be filtered through, leaving iron behind),But be careful: it is explosive, toxic and stinks (rotten cauliflower)
Balance chemical equation for iron filling and sulfur powder mixture?
Fe + S = FeS
How is iron sulphide a compound and not just a mixture of iron and sulfur?
Because in a chemical compound is a chemical bond between the elements. From a mixture of iron and sulfur iron can be separated with a magnet.
