Zinc does react when heated. It sparks, then turns to a liquid. The reaction takes place because the zinc combines with the o2 and creates zinc oxide.

As metals are good conductors of heat, zinc will get hot when it reacts to heat. If it gets hot enough, it will melt.

What is it called when zinc and sulfur is heated?

When Zinc and Sulphur are heated, an exothermic (giving OUT heat) reaction occurs. The Product formed is called Zinc Sulphide formula ZnS, also known as Zinc Blende in its mineral form. The Equation for the reaction is : Zn + S = ZnS, but I am not sure as the mixture is heated in presence of oxygen. If oxygen works as a catalyst then the equation is right otherwise the product would be Zinc Sulphate.(ZnSO4)


What metal is used in the reaction of metal and air?

Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air


How do you get zinc from zinc blende?

Zinc can be obtained from zinc blende (also known as sphalerite) through a process called roasting. First, the zinc blende is heated in the presence of oxygen to convert it into zinc oxide. Then, the zinc oxide is further heated with coke (a form of carbon) to reduce it to metallic zinc, which can be collected for further use.
