Consider the reaction when aqueous solutions of copper(II) sulfate and barium nitrate are combined.
The net ionic equation for this reaction is:
Solution
CuSO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) -----------------> BaSo4(s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq)
Cu^2+ (aq) +SO4^2-(aq) + Ba^2+ (aq) +2(NO3)^-(aq) -----------------> BaSo4(s) + Cu^2+ (aq) +2(NO3)^- (aq)
Removal of spectator ions to get net ionic equation . The spectator ions are Cu^2+ (aq), NO3^-(aq)
SO4^2-(aq) + Ba^2+ (aq) -----------------> BaSo4(s) net ionic equation
