Answer:

Option A. 1, 1, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

_Na₂SO₄ + _BaCl₂ —> _BaSO₄ + _NaCl

To know which option is correct, we shall balance the equation. The equation given in the question above can be balanced as follow:

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ —> BaSO₄ + NaCl

There are 2 atoms of Cl on the left side and 1 on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before NaCl as illustrated below:

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ —> BaSO₄ + 2NaCl

Now, the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 1, 1, 1, 2

Thus, option A gives the correct answer to the question.
