If you simply mix iron filings and sulfur crystals together, you get a mixture. The iron keeps the properties of iron (including its ability to be magnetized), and the sulfur retains the properties of sulfur. This mixture can be easily separated mechanically by simply passing a magnet nearby, which will magnetize and attract the iron filings. If you combine the two using heat, however, they iron and sulfur will chemically react to form the compound iron sulfide. This compound will have properties different from either the sulfur or iron. A magnet will no long separate the two (although it might attract excess iron that was not combined in the reaction). This experiment is meant to distinguish the properties of substances combined in mixtures versus substances combined as chemical compounds.

Iron + sulphur = Iron Sulphide.
Fe + S = FeS
