Answer

$3H_2S(g)+2Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe_2S_3(s)+6H_2O(g)$

Work Step by Step

Hydrogen sulfide is $H_2S$. Iron (III) hydroxide is $Fe(OH)_3$. Iron (III) sulfide is $Fe_2S_3$ and water is $H_2O$. $H_2S(g)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe_2S_3(s)+H_2O(g)$ Add a coefficient of 3 to $H_2S$ to balance the $S$. Add a coefficient of 2 to $Fe(OH)_3$ to balance $Fe$. $3H_2S(g)+2Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe_2S_3(s)+H_2O(g)$ Add a coefficient of 6 to $H_2O$ to balance $H$ and $O$. $3H_2S(g)+2Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe_2S_3(s)+6H_2O(g)$
