Powdered sulfur and iron filings are mixed together. What physical property could you use to separate them?

Magnetism - the filing would be attracted to a magnet, the sulfur would not.
You could also use melting point. Sulfur will melt at 115.21 °C, (239.38 °F) while iron won't melt until 1538 °C (2800 °F). Of course once it melts you wouldn't have powdered sulfur any more - you'd have liquid sulfur.

Is this a physical or chemical change when butter granulated sugar brown sugar and vanilla are mixed together?
so i think its a chemical change because when mixing all these ingreedients together, one substance is being dissolved into another, which the property of solubility. Since solubility is a chemical propery then i would assume chemical. Also a physical property is a reverible change such as ice melting or water freezing, once vanilla and sugar are mixed together, then i dont think that you can separate them again therefore it couldn't be a physcial property. Hope this helps!

You do not necessarily have to be married to own jointly owned property and even when an individual is married for 60 years he could still keep property separate from his spouse.

If your spouse has kept the property separate by keeping it in his name, only putting his money into it then it will be considered separate.
