Write long answer to the following question:
On adding a drop of barium chloride solution to an aqueous solution of sodium sulphite, white precipitate is obtained.

(a). Write a balanced chemical equation of the reaction involved.
(b). What other name can be given to this precipitation reaction?
(c). On adding dilute hydrochloric acid to the reaction mixture, white precipitate disappears. Why?
 
When barium chloride is added to a solution of sodium sulphite, a white precipitate of barium sulphite formed.
 
(a). The balanced chemical equation of the involved reaction is
 
(b). This precipitation process is also a reaction.
 
(c). When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to the barium sulphite, and sodium chloride solution, barium chloride, sulphur dioxide, and water are produced. The white precipitate of barium sulphite disappears because barium chloride is a .
