ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g) → ZnS(s) +2HCl(aq)
Your equation is
ZnCl₂ + H₂S → ?
This looks like a possible double replacement reaction.
The general equation for a double replacement reaction is
AB + CD → AD + CB
If we follow this pattern, the equation would be
ZnCl₂ + H₂S → ZnS + HCl
If we balance the equation and add states, we get
ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g) → ZnS(s) +2HCl(aq)
