Question

In the reaction of aqueous solution of barium chloride with aqueous solution of sodium sulphate, the aqueous solution formed will be ______.

Options

• BaCl₂

• BaSO₄

• Na₂SO₄

• NaCl

Answer 1

In the reaction of aqueous solution of barium chloride with aqueous solution of sodium sulphate, the aqueous solution formed will be NaCl.

Explanation:

When aqueous barium chloride reacts with aqueous sodium sulphate, a double decomposition reaction takes place. Barium sulphate (BaSO₄) is formed as an insoluble white precipitate, while sodium chloride (NaCl) remains dissolved in the solution.

Therefore, the aqueous solution formed contains NaCl, and BaSO₄ is obtained as a solid precipitate.
