Which of the following pairs of compounds would form a precipitate when their aqueous solutions are mixed?

A.

NaCl and KNO3

B.

KCL and NaNO3

C.

K2SO4 and BaCl2

D.

NH4NO3 and CO3

Correct answer is C

when potassium sulfate is mixed with barium chloride a white precipitate of barium sulfate will be form. barium sulfate is slightly soluble in water, so it will precipitate out as a solid

BaCl2 + K2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2KCl 

note; all substances are aqueous except BaSO4 which is solid
