Problem

Solutions of aqueous sodium sulfate and aqueous barium nitrate are mixed in a beaker. The initial concentrations are 0.20 M for each solute, and equal volumes are combined. (a) Write the balanced overall (molecular) chemical equation for the reaction, clearly indicating physical states. (b) Convert the equation from part (a) into the complete ionic equation. (c) Write the net ionic equation for any reaction that occurs. (d) Name the substance that forms as a solid and describe one piece of macroscopic evidence that would confirm its formation during the experiment.
