Solution Steps

Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation

The given reaction is: \[ 3 \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}(a q) + 2 \mathrm{FeCl}_{3}(a q) \longrightarrow \]

Step 2: Identify the products of the reaction

When sodium sulfide (\(\mathrm{Na}_2\mathrm{S}\)) reacts with iron(III) chloride (\(\mathrm{FeCl}_3\)), the products are sodium chloride (\(\mathrm{NaCl}\)) and iron(III) sulfide (\(\mathrm{Fe}_2\mathrm{S}_3\)).

Step 3: Write the complete balanced equation

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: \[ 3 \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}(a q) + 2 \mathrm{FeCl}_{3}(a q) \longrightarrow 6 \mathrm{NaCl}(a q) + \mathrm{Fe}_{2}\mathrm{S}_{3}(s) \]

Step 4: Identify the precipitate

In the reaction, \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2}\mathrm{S}_{3}\) is the solid precipitate that forms.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\mathrm{Fe}_{2}\mathrm{S}_{3}}\)
