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)
when copper and zinc are heated, they create brass :)
Sulfur before being heated in the mixture weighs less and is less reactive than in the heated mixture.
Zinc Sulfide or ZnS. A white, to yellow colored powder that is phosphorescent in certain applications. It is also semi-conductive because of the Zinc.

Zinc and sulfur react to form zinc sulfide, with formula ZnS.
Zinc Sulfate is ZnSO4. So, sulfur, zinc, and oxygen.
The substance created when zinc is heated with sulphur is zinc sulfide.
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.

The chemical formula of zinc sulfide is ZnS - one sulfur atom.
Most zinc is mined in the form of zinc sulfide, which, when heated in the presence of oxygen, breaks down into zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide. Metallic zinc can then be obtained from the zinc oxide by reacting it at high temperature with carbon or carbon monoxide and condensing the metallic vapor, or by electrolysis in the presence of sulfuric acid. The leading producers of zinc are China, Australia and Peru.
This is zinc oxide doped with sulfur.
