Ferrous hydroxide, Ferric hydroxide and Barium sulfate are
insoluble or in other words they are not aqueous.
Ba(OH)2
is soluble and exists as Ba(2+) and 2 OH- ions. Ferrous sulfate reacts with the OH- ion
and gives Ferrous hydroxide and a SO4(2-) ion. So if Ba(OH)2 and FeSO4 are mixed, the
FeSO4 will react with the OH- ions to give Fe(OH)2, which is insoluble and a SO4(2-) ion
that has to be accepted by the Ba(2+) ions resulting in Barium sulfate which is also
insoluble.
I am not sure the two chemicals will react but
if they do, both the resulting compounds of the reaction will be
precipitated.
If a reaction does take place between the
two, the balanced equation would
be:
Ba(OH)2+FeSO4=BaSO4+Fe(OH)2
