\( 2 = MgS _ { g } + AlCl _ { 3 } \rightarrow MaCl _ { 2 } + Al _ { 2 } S \)

It looks like you're trying to write a chemical reaction involving magnesium sulfide (MgS) and aluminum chloride (AlCl₃). However, the equation you provided is not balanced and contains some errors in the chemical formulas. Let's correct and balance the reaction. The reaction between magnesium sulfide and aluminum chloride can be represented as follows: \[ 3 \, \text{MgS} + 2 \, \text{AlCl}_3 \rightarrow 3 \, \text{MgCl}_2 + \text{Al}_2\text{S}_3 \] ### Explanation: 1. **Reactants**: - Magnesium sulfide (MgS) - Aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) 2. **Products**: - Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) - Aluminum sulfide (Al₂S₃) ### Balancing the Equation: - On the left side, we have 3 magnesium (Mg) and 3 sulfur (S) from 3 MgS, and 2 aluminum (Al) and 6 chlorine (Cl) from 2 AlCl₃. - On the right side, we have 3 magnesium from 3 MgCl₂ and 2 aluminum from Al₂S₃, and 6 chlorine from 3 MgCl₂ and 3 sulfur from Al₂S₃. This equation is now balanced with respect to the number of atoms of each element on both sides.
