What are the balanced chemical and net ionic equations for the following reactions, solid barium carbonate and dilute sulphuric acid?

Well, I hope you have seen the reaction demonstrated … both barium carbonate, and barium sulfate are INSOLUBLE in aqueous solution… however carbonate can be chemically altered by the addition of acid… And so we propose….

[math]BaCO_{3}(s)uparrow + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) longrightarrow BaSO_{4}(s)downarrow + CO_{2}(g)uparrow + H_{2}O(l)[/math]

…and I leave you to do the net ionic equations for carbonate, and sulfate ions, because I cannot be arsed..

The molecular equation of the reaction between solid barium carbonate and dilute sulphuric acid can be written as :

BaCO3(s) + H2SO4(dil) = BaSO4(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

The ionic equation is as:

BaCO3(s) +2 H+(aq) + SO42–(aq) = BaSO4(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

The net ionic equation as like as ionic equation.

But this reaction would not be completed because starting in the reaction a thin barium sulphate layer created on the barium carbonate. Therefore,further sulphuric acid cannot come in contact with barium carbonate.
