Answer is: spectator ions are NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2K⁺.

Balanced reaction hemical reaction:

Ba (NO ₃) ₂ (aq) + K₂SO₄ (aq) → BaSO₄ (s) + 2KNO₃ (aq).

Ionic reaction:

Ba² ⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2K⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) → BaSO₄ (s) + 2K⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq).

Net ionic reaction: Ba²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) → BaSO₄ (s).

A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation.
