What is the correct net ionic equation for the following set of reactants?
Ba(OH)2(aq)+H2SO4(aq)---->2H2O(l)+BaSO4
I keep getting the answer as 2OH^- + 2H^+ ----> 2H2O(l) but it counts it wrong.

BaSO4 is insoluble; therefore, it must appear on the right as BaSO4(s) (of course that means Ba ion and SO4 ion must be on the left).
