What is the ionic equation for Na2CO3 + Ba(NO3)2 -> BaCO3 + 2NaNO3?

It is the reaction between sodium carbonate and barium nitrate. It would be super helpful if you could also show the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation is Ba^(+2)(aq) + CO_3^(-2)(aq) -> BaCO_3(s)Ba+2(aq)+CO23(aq)BaCO3(s)

Explanation:

Both reaction compounds are ionic and are aqueous in solution.

The products are a relatively insoluble compound and a compound that remains in solution as ions.

The complete ionic equation is

2 Na^(+1)(aq) + 1 CO_3(-2)(aq) + 1 Ba^(+2)(aq) + 2 NO_3^(-1)(aq) ->2Na+1(aq)+1CO3(2)(aq)+1Ba+2(aq)+2NO13(aq)

2 Na^(+1)(aq) + 2 NO_3^(-1)(aq) + 1 BaCO_3(s) 2Na+1(aq)+2NO13(aq)+1BaCO3(s)

Since the Sodium ions Na^(+1)(aq) Na+1(aq) and Nitrate NO_3^(-1)(aq)NO13(aq)
Do not Change they are not part of the net ionic equation.
