A.

Explanation:

A. The heating instigates a chemical reaction in which the compound Iron Sulphide has been made.

Koen Galvan · Answer 2

A) A mixture of sulfur and iron filings are heated until the contents glow red and the appearance of the mixture changes. A magnet can no longer remove iron filings.

Explanation:

Chemical change is a change which brings a change in the composition of the substance.

When sulphur and Iron fillings are heated a chemical reaction takes place which leads to the formation of FeS.

FeS is a new substance which has completely a different property than that of Iron.

Iron has magnetic property gets attracted to the magnet.

FeS formed is no longer attracted to the magnet. A magnet can no longer remove iron filings because all the iron have been converted to FeS.
