Solution
When solutions of barium chloride and sodium sulphate are mixed together, then an insoluble precipitate of barium sulphate and solution of sodium chloride is obtained. Hence, this reaction is a precipitation (a kind of double displacement reaction) reaction. The chemical equation for the reaction between barium chloride and sodium sulphate is represented as follows
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl
