Open in App
Solution

The reaction between barium chloride and sodium sulfate can be shown as follow:

BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl

This reaction is double displacement reaction.

General double displacement reaction is :

AB + CD → AD + BC

In BaCl2, A is Ba2+, and B is Cl−. In Na2SO4, C is Na+, and D is SO42−. The products from the reaction of BaCl2(aq) and Na2SO4(aq) are BaSO4 and NaCl. So the ions which are exchanged between reactants are Cl− and SO42−.
