Pyrite is made of iron and sulfur and is the compound iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. It is not a mixture of iron and sulfur. The iron and sulfur are chemically combined to form a compound.
Iron and sulfur form a mixture known as iron sulfide, often called pyrite or fool's gold. This mixture can be created by heating a combination of iron and sulfur powders in a controlled environment.
One method is to use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the sulfur powder, as iron is magnetic but sulfur is not. Another method is to mix the mixture with a solvent that dissolves the sulfur powder, leaving the iron fillings behind. Lastly, heating the mixture can also cause the sulfur to sublimate, leaving the iron fillings behind.
No, the proportion of iron and sulfur in a mixture is not always fixed. It can vary depending on the composition of the mixture and how it was prepared. The proportion can be adjusted by changing the quantities of iron and sulfur added to the mixture.
A mixture of iron and sulfur can be separated by using a magnet to attract the iron (which is magnetic) while leaving the sulfur behind. The iron can then be removed, leaving the sulfur as the only component remaining.

Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.

Reacting iron with sulfur an iron sulfide is formed, not a mixture.

Iron sulfur mixture is magnetic because iron is a ferromagnetic material; meaning it can be magnetized and retain its magnetism. When iron is combined with sulfur to form a mixture, the presence of iron in the mixture imparts magnetic properties to it.
When the magnet is moved beneath the mixture of iron and sulfur, the iron particles will be attracted to the magnet due to their magnetic properties, while the sulfur particles will not be affected by the magnet. This will result in the separation of the iron from the sulfur in the mixture.
When iron and sulfur combine, they form iron sulfide, which is a gray or black solid. The color of the mixture will depend on the proportions of iron and sulfur used.
A mixture of iron and sulfur can be separated by using a magnet. Iron is magnetic, so it can be easily separated from the non-magnetic sulfur using a magnet.
