When sodium sulphate reacts with barium chloride, a double displacement reaction takes place and the new products formed are barium sulphate and sodium chloride. The white precipitate is of barium sulphate. The reaction is as follows:
BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) → BaSO4 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)
BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) → BaSO4 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)
