Answer : The net ionic equation will be,
[tex]Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)[/tex]
Explanation :
In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.
Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.
The given balanced ionic equation will be,
[tex]Ba(OH)_2(aq)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(aq)+BaSO_4(s)[/tex]
The ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,
[tex]Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+2H^{+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2H^+(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)[/tex]
In this equation, [tex]H^+\text{ and }OH^-[/tex] are the spectator ions.
By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.
The net ionic equation will be,
[tex]Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)[/tex]
