Question

Consider a medium which contains the mixture of sodium sulphate and Barium Chloride are mixed one after the other. Predict the product has been formed.​

Answer 1

sodium chloride and barium sulphate

Answer 2

Mixture contains Barium chloride and Sodium sulphate.

Chemical Formula of compounds used are as follows :-

Sodium Sulphate :-

$\boxed{\sf{Na_{2}SO_{4}}}$

Barium Chloride :-

$\boxed{\sf{BaCl_{2}}}$

$\rule{200}{2}$

When they are mixed, The reaction that takes place is as follows :-

$Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) +BaCl_{2}(aq) \rightarrow BaSO_{4}(\downarrow) +2NaCl$

$\rule{200}{2}$

The products formed are :-

1)Barium sulphate :-

It is a white colored precipitated which settles at the bottom of the container in which reaction is carried out.

The reaction which takes place is called as DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION.

Due to the formation of a precipitate, the reaction is also known as PRECIPITATION REACTION.

2) Sodium Chloride.
