$B a {(N O_{3})}_{2} (a q) + N a_{2} C O_{3} (a q) \to B a C O_{3} (s) ⏐ ↓ + 2 N a (N O_{3}) (a q)$ $Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) + Na_2CO_3(aq) rarr BaCO_3(s)darr + 2Na(NO_3)(aq)$

Explanation:

All nitrates are soluble (in aqueous solution). All carbonates are INSOLUBLE (except for those of the alkali metals). Barium carbonate is certainly insoluble.

The net ionic equation for the above:

$B a^{2 +} + C O_{3}^{2 -} \to B a C O_{3} (s) ⏐ ⏐ ↓$ $Ba^(2+) + CO_3^(2-) rarr BaCO_3(s)darr$

As for any equation, both mass and charge are conserved. What does this mean with respect to the 2nd equation?
