Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when aqueous BaCl₂ and aqueous (NH₄)₂SO₄ are mixed in solution to form aqueous NH₄Cl and solid BaSO₄. If no reaction occurs, simply write only NR.

Answer:

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq) + 2 NH₄⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⇒ 2 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq) + BaSO₄(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular equation that occurs when aqueous BaCl₂ and aqueous (NH₄)₂SO₄ are mixed in solution to form aqueous NH₄Cl and solid BaSO₄. This is a double displacement reaction.

BaCl₂(aq) + (NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ 2 NH₄Cl(aq) + BaSO₄(s)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq) + 2 NH₄⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⇒ 2 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq) + BaSO₄(s)
