Precipitation Reactions

Write a molecular equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when the following solutions are mixed. If no reaction occurs, write NO REACTION. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

cesium chloride and calcium sulfide

I went through the solubility rules and balanced the resulting equation and this is what I came up with:

2CsCl(aq) + CaS(aq) --> Cs_2S(s) + CaCl_2(aq)

I inputted this into the system and it said I am incorrect. Can someone please check my work and if it is indeed incorrect, then explain HOW to reach the correct solution (I don't need the answer).

Hmmm. Cesium is an alkali metal, isn't its' compounds soluble in water?

2cs+2S=2CsS
Both products from this reaction are soluble in water creating no reaction.
