Best Answer

BaSO4 + 2H2O --> Ba(OH)2 + H2SO4

There is now one Barium, one Sulfate, two hydroxides, and two oxygens on either side of the arrow.

The above reaction would make sense if barium sulfate was soluble in water... but it is not. In fact, it is so insoluble in water that there is no reaction.

What happens when barium sulfate is added with water?

While many compounds containing sulfate are soluble, barium sulfate is one of the exceptions. When you put it in water, nothing happens.


What is the balanced equation for CuSO4?

CuSO4 is copper (II) sulfate. The balanced equation for CuSO4 with water is CuSO4 + H2O reacts to become Cu+2 + HSO4-2 + OH-.


Why was ionic precipitation chosen for the reaction of zinc sulphate and barium chloride?

since both substance will dissolve, the barium and the sulfate will come together and barium sulfate does not dissolve in water so barium sulfate will be the precipitate.


What happens when sodium sulphate is added to barium nitrate?

If the sodium sulfate and barium nitrate are both in solution in water, a precipitate of barium sulfate will be formed, because this salt is much less soluble in water than barium nitrate, sodium sulfate, or sodium nitrate.


Barium chloride reacts sodium sulfate in aqueous solution to give soluble sodium chloride and insoluble barium sulfate how would you isolate the barium sulfate?

add water to dissolve the sodium chloride, filter and you can collect the barium sulfate behind the filter paper


Why is barium compound toxic?

Barium is not poisonous in the form of its sulfate. That's because barium sulfate is insoluble in water. Unless a barium compound dissolves with the subsequent release of barium ions, it is not going to be highly toxic.


How can you separate barium sulfate from potassium chloride?

Add water and pass it though a filter. Ammonium sulfate will dissolve in water, barium sulfate will not.


What causes a precipitate to form when barium hydroxide solution and sulphuric acid are mixed?

The barium ion in barium hydroxide and sulfate ion in sulfuric acid combine to form barium sulfate, which is insoluble in water.
