Solution

The reaction between barium chloride and ammonium sulphate to form barium sulphate and ammonium chloride is an example of a double displacement reaction.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. A double displacement reaction, also known as a metathesis reaction, is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and positive ions (cations) and the negative ions (anions) from the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds.

  2. In the given reaction, barium chloride (BaCl2) and ammonium sulphate ((NH4)2SO4) are the reactants.

  3. Barium chloride (BaCl2) provides the Ba2+ ions and ammonium sulphate ((NH4)2SO4) provides the SO4 2- ions. These ions combine to form barium sulphate (BaSO4).

  4. Similarly, ammonium sulphate ((NH4)2SO4) provides the NH4+ ions and barium chloride (BaCl2) provides the Cl- ions. These ions combine to form ammonium chloride (NH4Cl).

  5. Therefore, the reaction between barium chloride and ammonium sulphate to form barium sulphate and ammonium chloride is a double displacement reaction.
