BaCl2 + H2SO4 ---> BaSO4 + HCl
It's balanced ionic equation would be:

BaCl2 + H2SO4 ---> BaSO4 + 2HCl

Hope this helps!

The balanced net equation for

BaCl2 (aq) + H2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) + HCl (aq) is

Ba^2+(aq) +SO4^2- → BaSO4 (s)

Explanation

Ionic equation is a chemical equation in which electrolytes in aqueous solution are written as dissociated ions.

ionic equation is written using the below steps

Step 1: write a balanced molecular equation

BaCl2 (aq) +H2SO4 (aq)→ BaSO4(s) +2HCl (aq)

Step 2: Break all soluble electrolytes in to ions

= Ba^2+ (aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 2H^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)→ BaSO4(s) + 2H^+(aq) +2Cl^- (aq)

step 3: cancel the spectator ions in both side of equation ( ions which do not take place in the reaction)

 = 2Cl^- and 2H^+ ions

Step 4: write the final net equation

 Ba^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)→ BaSO4(s)

Answer: A) polar molecule

Explanation: Polar molecules are molecules which contain atoms of different electronegativities.

Non polar molecules are molecules which contains atoms of same electronegativities.

Water is a polar covalent molecule formed by unequal sharing of electrons. Oxygen being more electronegative tend to keep the electron pair towards itself thus generating a partial negative charge. The hydrogen acquire a partial positive charge thus resulting in a polar molecule.

The bent shape is due to repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs of electrons.
