When sufficiently heated, iron filings and sulfur react to produce a compound, iron (II) sulfide.
When heated, iron filings (Fe) react with sulfur (S) to form iron sulfide (FeS). The chemical equation for this reaction is: Fe + S -> FeS.
Heating iron filings with sulfur powder will result in a chemical reaction known as a thermite reaction. This reaction produces iron sulfide and a significant amount of heat and light. The iron sulfide formed is a black compound.
Iron filings and sulfur yellow powder are pure substances, while a mixture of iron and sulfur is a combination of two elements physically mixed together. When iron and sulfur are combined, they can be easily separated by physical means, whereas iron filings and sulfur powder cannot be separated without a chemical reaction. The similarities lie in the chemical elements present (iron and sulfur) in all three substances.
ironsulphide
Yes, you can distinguish iron filings from sulfur by using a magnet. Iron filings are attracted to the magnet and can be separated from sulfur, which is not magnetic.
When heated, iron filings (Fe) react with sulfur (S) to form iron sulfide (FeS). The chemical equation for this reaction is: Fe + S -> FeS.
The iron filings will be attracted to the magnet and stick to it due to their magnetic properties. The sulfur powder will remain unaffected as it is not magnetic. You will observe the separation of the iron filings from the sulfur powder as the magnet is rolled through the mixture.
Sulfur is a fine powder that is light yellow in color; iron filings are metallic. A mixture would be just that: a light yellow powder intersperced with metallic particles.
The hypothesis for separating iron filing and sulfur powder using a magnet is that iron is a magnetic material, whereas sulfur is not. By using a magnet, we can separate the iron filings from the sulfur powder based on their magnetic properties.

no
When a mixture of iron filings and sulfur powder is heated, they undergo a chemical reaction to form iron sulfide. This reaction is exothermic and produces a visible change in color, as the iron sulfide formed is a dark grey compound. Additionally, the reaction releases heat and may emit a distinct odor due to the sulfur.
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
