Answer:

Double Displacement reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → 2NaCl + BaSO4

Double displacement reaction occurs when the cations and anions of the two reacting compound interchange, forming a new products. From the equation given above, Na^+ switch place with Ba^2 + and likewise Cl^- with (SO4) ^2- to form NaCl and BaSO4.
