Answer:

2Na⁺ (aq) and 2OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Spectator ions:

Spectator ions are those ions which are same on both side of chemical reaction. These ions are same in the reactant side and product side. Their presence can not effect the chemical equilibrium that's why when we write the net ionic equation these ions are neglect or omitted.

Given ionic equation:

Ba⁺²(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + CO²⁻₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s) + + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

In given ionic equation by omitting the spectator ions i.e, 2Na⁺ (aq) and 2OH⁻(aq) net ionic equation can be written as,

Net ionic equation:

Ba⁺²(aq) + CO²⁻₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s)

Answer:

Rocks are the aggregate of minerals. There are three distinct categories of rocks, namely the sedimentary, metamorphic and the igneous rocks.

The sedimentary rocks are formed from the deposition, compaction, and lithification of soft sediments that are transported from one place to another by the agents such as wind, water, and ice. For example, Sandstone and Shale.

The metamorphic rocks are derived from the previously existing sedimentary, igneous or other metamorphic rocks, due to the influence of extremely high pressure as well as temperature conditions. For example, Quartzite and Marble.
