Barium chloride on reacting with ammonium sulfate forms barium sulfate and ammonium chloride. Which of the following correctly represents the type of the reaction involved?
Double displacement reaction
Precipitation reaction
The reaction involved: BaCl2+ (NH4)2SO4→BaSO4(white ppt.)↓+2NH4Cl ,
when barium chloride reacts with ammonium sulphate, it forms white precipitate of barium sulphate along with ammonium chloride.There is also an exchange of ions which results in the formation of product molecules. As a result, it is a precipitation as well as double displacement reaction.
