Answer 1

Answer : The net ionic equation will be,

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)$

Explanation :

In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

The given balanced ionic equation will be,

$Ba(OH)_2(aq)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(aq)+BaSO_4(s)$

The ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+2H^{+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2H^+(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)$

In this equation, $H^+\text{ and }OH^-$ are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)$
