Is there a question here? We can write the stoichiometric equation.....

Explanation:

$Z n S O_{4} (a q) + B a C l_{2} (a q) \to Z n C l_{2} (a q) + B a S O_{4} (s) ⏐ ↓$ $ZnSO_4(aq) + BaCl_2(aq) rarr ZnCl_2(aq) + BaSO_4(s)darr$

Most sulfates are soluble. Barium sulfate is quite insoluble in aqueous solution. You must simply know this experimental result.......

Most halides are soluble (the exceptions.... $A g C l$ $AgCl$ , $H g_{2} C l_{2}, P b C l_{2}$ $Hg_2Cl_2, PbCl_2$ ). The given reaction is a so-called $partner-exchange$ $"partner-exchange"$ or $methathesis$ $"methathesis"$ reaction, that is driven to the right by the insolubility of one of the products..
