Detailed Solution

Mass balance and Charge Balance :

Remove the spectator ion - Cl-

Fe3++H2SFe2++S+HCl2

Oxidation Half :

Fe3++1eFe2+

Reduction Half:

H2SS+2H++2e

Total loss of electrons = total gain of electrons

2Fe3++H2S2Fe2++S+2H+

Add the spectator ion – Cl-

2FeCl3+H2S2FeCl2+S+2HCl

FeCl3 acts as an oxidation agent

So, In the reaction : xFeCl3+yH2SFeCl2+S+HCl

value of x =2 and y =1.
