What thing can separate sulfur from iron filings except from magnets?

If the mixture is powdered sulfur and iron filings, use a strong electrostatic field. The sulfur will jump to the opposite charge leaving the conductive iron behind. ***************************** Or, you could add carbon disulfide which would dissolve the sulfur.


What is the separation technique that you need to use to separate steel fillings from sulfur?

I'm not sure that it's a regularly used method, but since iron is magnetic and sulfur isn't, you could use a magnet to pick up the iron filings.


How could a student use a magnet to indicate that combining iron an sulfur to produce the mixture of iron and sulfur is a physical change?

Why do you use magnetic attraction to separate sulfur and iron filings?

Because it works extremely well.


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.


A mixture of iron filling and sulfur can be easily separated by?

I assume "iron filling" is supposed to mean iron filings? In this case, I would use a magnet to separate the two. The iron filings will stick to the magnet, leaving the sulfur behind.


Can the iron and sulfur be sparated by means of a magnet?

Yes you can. Since the iron filings are magnetic, but sulphur is not - you can use a magnet to separate the two elements.
