Complete and balance the molecular equation for the reaction of aqueous sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, and aqueous barium nitrate, Ba(NO3)2. Include physical states. molecular equation:Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + Ba(NO_{3})_{2}(aq) ->Na2SO4(aq)+Ba(NO3)2(aq)⟶Enter the balanced net ionic equation for this reaction. Include physical states. net ionic equation:

1. The balanced molecular equation is given below:

Na2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) —> BaSO4(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

2. The net ionic equation is given below:

SO4^2-(aq) + Ba^2+(aq) —> BaSO4(s)

Explanation:

1. The balanced molecular equation

Na2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) —> BaSO4(s) + NaNO3(aq)

The above equation can be balance as follow:

Na2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) —> BaSO4(s) + NaNO3(aq)

There are 2 atoms of Na on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of NaNO3 as shown below:

Na2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) —> BaSO4(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

Now, the equation is balanced.

2. The bal net ionic equation.

This can be obtained as follow:

Na2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) —>

In solution, Na2SO4 and Ba(NO3)2 will dissociate as follow:

Na2SO4(aq) —> 2Na^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)

Ba(NO3)2(aq) —> Ba^2+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq)

Na2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) —>

2Na^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) + Ba^2+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq) —> BaSO4(s) + 2Na^+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq)

Cancel the spectator ions i.e Na^+ and NO3^- to obtain the net ionic equation.

SO4^2-(aq) + Ba^2+(aq) —> BaSO4(s)

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
