The coefficient for the product HCl when the equation is correctly balanced is c) 1.
wrong
My apologies for the incorrect response.
To balance the equation:
CrCl3 + H2S -> Cr2S3 + HCl
We need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
Balancing the equation, we have:
1 CrCl3 + 3 H2S -> 1 Cr2S3 + 6 HCl.
Therefore, the coefficient for the product HCl is d) 6.
