Well, barium sulfate is pretty insoluble stuff in aqueous solution.....

And so we gots....

$Ba^(2+) + SO_4^(2-) rarr BaSO_4(s)darr$

...as the net ionic equation.

The magnesium and nitrate ions are along for the ride.....and stay in solution.

The complete metathesis reaction is....

$Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) + MgSO_4(aq) rarr BaSO_4(s)darr+Mg(NO_3)_2(aq)$

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of MgSO_4MgSO_4 with Ba(NO_3 )_2Ba(NO_3 )_2?
