Balancing Net Ionic Equation for Barium Fluoride Precipitate Formation

pandabento09 · Jan 30, 2007

Homework Statement

Aqueous solutions of barium chloride and sodium fluoride are mixed to form a precipitate of barium fluoride.

i'm not sure but i put.
BaCl + NaF = BaF2 + NaCl2

I'm pretty much confused whether you balance the equation. Also I'm not sure when the net equation is completed. Please help.

Besides, you are asked for net ionic, so far you have not tried to look at ions.
