Sulfur will float and iron will sink because each will retain its properties

Answer:

When Iron powder and Sulfur powder are mixed, no chemical reaction will occur, so you will see a physical change. The heterogeneous mixture resulting from mixing Iron powder with Sulfur powder could be easily separated using a magnet. When heating both compounds; however, it is possible to observe a chemical change as Iron Sulfide is formed. This product looks dark, shiny and is solid.
