Barium carbonate salt will form as a slightly soluble precipitate:
Ba+2(aq) + 2OH-1(aq) + 2Na+1(aq) + CO3-2(aq) = BaCO3(s) + 2Na+1(aq) + 2OH-1 (aq)
The equation above is an ionic equation of the following chemical reaction:
Ba(OH)2 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq)= BaCO3 (s) +2NaOH (aq)
where formation of a precipitate is a driving force of the reaction.
