Hi,

MgSO4 + BaCl2 → MgCl2 + BaSO4

Assuming MgSO4 is excess: (10/208.23)*233.43 =  11.2 g BaSO4
Assuming BaCl2 is excess : (1.2/120.366)*233.43 = 2.33 g BaSO4

You can get maximum of 2.33g BaSO4 with the stated conditions.

Hope this helps,

MgSO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + BaSO4(s)

Complete ionic equation:
Mg^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) + Ba^2+(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq) → Mg^2+(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq) + BaSO4(s)

Net ionic equation:
Ba^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) → BaSO4(s)

Answer=2.33g BaSO4
