Which is one of the bi-product formed when sodium sulphate reacts with barium chloride?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Sodium chloride

 

  • When sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) reacts with barium chloride (BaCl2), one of the products formed is barium sulfate (BaSO4).
  • In this reaction, sodium sulfate reacts with barium chloride to produce barium sulfate as a solid precipitate, while sodium chloride remains in the solution.
  • The formation of the insoluble barium sulfate is often exploited as a method to selectively precipitate barium ions in analytical chemistry.
