Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

FIRST AND FOREMOST, BALANCE YOUR EQUATION.

Al + S8 ➡️ Al2S3

Numbers of Al=1. ➡️ Numbers of Al = 2

Numbers of S =8. ➡️ Numbers of S. = 3

USE COEFFICIENT TO BALANCE THE EQUATION.

16Al + 3S8 ➡️ 8Al2S3

Now the Numbers of Al and S in both sides of eqn. is balanced

The Answer Is 16

Answer: 16 Al

Explanation: If we balance the chemical equation the result is this:

16 Al + 3 S8 => 8Al2S3

Sulfur both have 24 electrons in the reactant and product side

While for Al contains 16 on both sides.
