Overall reaction including spectator ions:
BaCl2(aq)+K2SO4(aq) --> BaSO4(s)+2KCl(aq)
Ionic Reaction:
Ba+2(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + 2K+(aq) + SO4-2(aq) --> BaSO4(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
Note that the BaSO4(s) is insoluble.
Net Ionic:
Ba+2(aq) + SO4-2(aq) --> BaSO4(s)
The net ionic equation eliminates the ions that just stay in solution and do not contribute to the precipitate of the barium sulfate.
