Answer:
The reaction can't be balanced
Explanation:
To solve the chemical reaction:
_BaF₂ + _Na₂S → _BaS₂ + _NaF
We will use the algebraic method:
XBaF₂ + YNa₂S → ZBaS₂ + WNaF
Ba = X = Z
F = X/2 = W
Na = Y/2 = W
S = Y = Z/2
From the equations of F and Na:
X= Y
But from Ba and S equations:
X = 2Y
As both equations are inconsistent:
The reaction can't be balanced
