Hello, I'm new here and I am having trouble with a general chemistry question.  I think I might be right, but I want to double check.

2AgNo₃(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq)  --->  Ag₂(SO₄) + 2Na(NO₃)

Is this Ionic equation correct? 2Ag⁺(aq) + 2NO₃(aq) + Na + SO₄² --->  Ag + SO₄² + 2Na(NO₃)s


Thanks in advance for the help.

Not quite.  Ag₂SO₄ is insoluble, nitrates are soluble.  Your eqn is also not balanced.

How is it not balanced? I looked over it, and I can't find why it's not.  I see how it's not right, but I can't seem to get the balancing right.  Thank you for responding.

Na+ and Ag+ are not balanced.

the rxn is:
2Ag⁺ + 2NO₃^- + 2Na⁺ + SO₄^2- → Ag₂SO₄ (s) + 2Na⁺ + 2NO₃^-.

Note that nitrate and sodium are spectators.

Now I understand it.  Thanks a lot for the *delete me*
