Heating sulfur is a physical change. You're not changing the chemical composition of the sulfur, just the temperature. Now if you heat it to its boiling point and and it changes to a vapor it's a chemical change because you've changed its state of matter.(Actually changing the state of matter of an object is still a physical change, as it does not change the chemical composition of the element)

Is dissolution of sulfur in carbon disulphide is chemical or physical change?
physicl change
It reacts with hydrogen to form a gas. Is it a chemical or physical property of sulfur?
it is chemical change
Is sulfur a chemical or physical property?
Neither. Sulfur is an element by it self , that has its own physical and chemical properties.
Is Using oxygen to separate molten copper sulfide into copper and sulfur dioxide a physical change?
no it is a chemical change
Sulfur has a bright yellow color is this physical or cheimical property?
Its colour, its melting point, its boiling point, whether it is magnetic or not, whether it is an electrical conductor or not and its atomic mass are all physical properties.
Why is heating of sulphur considered as a physical change?
Simply heating (warming) sulfur could be a physical change if nothing happens to the sulfur other than it just getting warmer, and when you remove the heat, it stays as the original sulfur. However, more likely than not, heating sulfur will cause a CHEMICAL change where the sulfur combusts and turns into sulfur dioxide (SO2).
Is heating up sulfur a chemical change?
It is not a chemical change, unless you heat it sufficiently to make it catch fire.
Is grinding sulfur a chemical or physical change?
Grinding sulfur is a physical change.
Is burning of sulfur physical change?
Burning of sulfur (or anything else) is a chemical change, not a physical change.
Is heating of powdered sulphur a physical or a chemical change?
Heating sulfur (yellow form, S8) gives initially a red liquid which solidifies as a rubbery mass. This is termed plasic sulfur. This slowly reverts back to the yellow form. These changes are considered to be physical changes although the molecular form changes (it is still sulfur) from S8 to a metastable polymeric plastic sulfur. There is often ignition of the sulfur - to form sulfur dioxide this is most definitely a chemical change.
Is burning sulfur a physical or chemical change?
It is a chemical change, an oxidation reaction.
Is heating sulfur a chemical change?
It is not a chemical change, unless you heat it sufficiently to make it catch fire.
Is a lump of sulfur being crushed physical or chemical?
Physical change- it is still sulfur
Is Heating a hydrous salt to obtain an anhydrous salt a chemical or physical change?
if you mean epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) then heating it will result in a decomposition reaction, where magnesium oxide (s) and sulfur trioxide (g) is formed. The decomposition reaction is therefore a chemical change.
What is a chemical change a.Heating of ZnO b.magnetization of iron c.heating of sulfur d. radioactivity?
heating of sulfur in presence of oxygen (or air) is a chemical change.
Is burning sulfur physical or chemical change?
chemichal
When heating sulfur what reaction physical or chemical?
Heating S in a closed environment where it reacts with nothing would be physical but burning S in an open environment it will react with O and is therefore chemical.
