Answer:

CuCl₂ + H₂S → CuS + 2HCl

Step-by-step explanation:

The unbalanced reaction expression is given as;

CuCl₂ + H₂S → CuS + HCl

The problem here involves balancing of chemical equations.

We use a mathematical approach to solve this problem. Here assign coefficients a, b, c and d as values that will effect the balance;

aCuCl₂ + bH₂S → cCuS + dHCl

Conserving Cu: a = c

Cl: 2a = d

H: 2b = d

S: b = c

let a = 1; c = 1, b = 1 and d = 2

CuCl₂ + H₂S → CuS + 2HCl
