Heating a mixture of sulfur powder and iron fillings will produce Generation of black iron sulfide (FeS) because of insufficient oxidation of sulfur into the iron oxide +3, and Fe2O3 iron sulfide is black, not yellow over iron sulfide (FeS2) ,can be called pyrite.
Use iron fillings and sulphur powder and distinguish
between these on the basis of:
i) appearance i.e., homogeneity and heterogeneity
ii) behavior towards a magnet
iii) behavior towards carbon disulphide a solvent
iv) effect of heat.

Is gun powder a compound or mixture?
Many people confuse gunpowder and black powder. Both of them are mixtures, although gunpowder, also known as smokeless powder, was 100% nitrocellulose, a compound, when it was first used in the mid 1800's. Black powder is a very intimate mixture of potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal. Smokeless powders today get their energy when burned from 100% nitrocellulose to mostly nitroglycerine. Most smokeless powders obtain their energy from a mixture of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. However, even smokeless powders made today with pure nitrocellulose are still a mixture because manufacturers add other compounds to the powder to reduce the muzzle flash, stabilize the burning rate, slow the decomposition of the powder and to neutralize any corrosive acids formed from the powder's decomposition.
