Problem

Equal volumes of 0.10 M0.10\,\text{M} Na2SO4Na_2SO_4(aq) and 0.10 M0.10\,\text{M} Ba(NO3)2Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) are mixed at room temperature. Which of the following best describes the macroscopic observation immediately after mixing? (a) No visible change occurs because all species remain soluble. (b) A white solid forms because BaSO4BaSO_4 is insoluble. (c) Gas bubbles appear as sulfate ions decompose to SO2SO_2(g). (d) A white solid forms because Na2SO4Na_2SO_4 is insoluble in water.
