First, balance the equation:

Al<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> + 6H<sub>2</sub>O --> 2Al(OH)<sub>3</sub> + 3H<sub>2</sub>S

Al<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> = 150g/mol
H<sub>2</sub>S = 34g/mol

.46g of Al<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> is 0.003 mole

each mole of Al<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> produces 3 moles of H<sub>2</sub>S, so you'd get

.009moles of H<sub>2</sub>S = 0.313g
