Question

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction:
Barium chloride + Potassium sulphate $\to$ Barium sulphate + Potassium chloride

Answer 1

The chemical equation for the given chemical reaction is:
${\text{BaCl}}_2+{\text{K}}_2{\text{SO}}_4\to {\text{BaSO}}_4+\text{KCl}$

The number of potassium and chlorine atoms on the reactant and product sides is not balanced. So we need to add a coefficient 2 before KCl on the product side.
The balanced chemical equation is:
${\text{BaCl}}_2+{\text{K}}_2{\text{SO}}_4\to {\text{BaSO}}_4+2\text{KCl}$
