Answer:
SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s)
Explanation:
Let's consider the molecular equation that occurs when aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfate and barium nitrate are mixed.
(NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) + Ba(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s) + 2 NH₄NO₃(aq)
The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.
2 NH₄⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s) + 2 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq)
The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the insoluble species.
SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s)
