Write the molecular formula for this word equation and then balance the equation

Question

Write the molecular formula for this word equation and then balance the equation. Be sure to include the phase subscripts. Use the solubility table to determine if any products are solids or aqueous. Then write the complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation including the phase subscripts. Lastly, write down the spectator ions with their correct charges and phase subscripts. sodium sulfate(aq) + barium nitrate(aq) barium sulfate and sodium nitrate Molecular equation Complete ionic equation: Net ionic equation: Spectator ions:

Explanation / Answer

Molecular Equation

Na2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) ---> BaSO4(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

BaSO4 will precipitate since it is not soluble in water

Complete ionic equation

2Na+(aq) + SO4-2(aq) + Ba+2(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) ---> BaSO4(s) + 2Na+(aq)+ 2NO3-(aq)

Net Ionic Equation

SO4-2(aq) + Ba+2(aq) + ---> BaSO4(s)

Spectator Ions

2Na+(aq) and  2NO3-(aq)
