The chemical equation is

3BaCl2(aq)+Al2(SO4)3(aq)3BaSO4(s)+2AlCl3(aq)

Explanation:

Barium Sulfate (BaSO4) being highly insoluble, will form a white precipitate.

A white precipitate of barium sulfate.

Explanation:

3BaCl2(aq)+Al2(SO4)3(aq)3BaSO4(s)+2AlCl3(aq)

Barium sulfate is quite insoluble in aqueous solution, Ksp=1.08×1010.

Alternatively, because the aluminum salts are along for the ride, we could write the net ionic equation:

Ba2++SO24BaSO4(s)
