I did do a reaction like this (though not intentionally).
When I performed it, a smelly odor was released as well and the result was rather goop-like.

Other members say that the result was likely sodium polysulfide.

I don't think anything much happened with the acetone: at least not in the direction that you were hoping.
Sulfur dissolves in strong sodium hydroxide solutions to form sodium polysulfide which is a rich yellow-orange colour.
As the name indicates, this substance is polymeric. It surprises me little that you ended up with a dark, tarry vile-smelling goop.





Current Active works in Progress:
-Convert i-propanol to i-chloropropane using HCl and ZnCl2
-Determine properties and solubility of a glycerol and citric acid polymer
-Attempt a conversion of chloroform to dichloromethane
-Attempt a conversion of acetic acid to acetamide

took a bit to figure out what the hell naoh was, but then realized it was don improperly!

NaOH in chemistry this is important for the formulas to make sense and for us to understand what is being said.

Just a friendly tip for future posts to help your self and us :)
