Answer: The products formed are [tex]BaSO_4\text{ and }NaNO_3[/tex]
Explanation:
The reaction between barium nitrate and sodium sulfate is a type of double displacement reaction.
Double displacement reactions are defined as the reactions in which exchange of ions takes place. General equation for this type of reaction follows:
[tex]AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD[/tex]
For the reaction of barium nitrate and sodium sulfate, the equation follows:
[tex]Ba(NO_3)_2+Na_2SO_4\rightarrow BaSO_4+2NaNO_3[/tex]
By Stoichiometry,
1 mole of barium nitrate reacts with 1 mole of sodium sulfate to produce 1 mole of barium sulfate and 2 moles of sodium nitrate.
Hence, the products formed are [tex]BaSO_4\text{ and }NaNO_3[/tex]
