    Neither of the two "compounds" you cite actually exist.
    Rewrite your question, correct the reactants, try it yourself and then we can help you if you are still having problems.
    I know what you are trying to ask, but you can't do it with the wrong formulas. Fix them and you will spot the precipitate that will form. (Hint! )

    No, sorry, those compounds do not exist.

    Those should be in fact:

    Na2CO3 is Sodium CarbonATE. Barium Chloride is BaCl2. You need to memorize the names and formulas of the common ions like carbonate. You need to learn how to predict the formulas of compounds like BaCl2 (Why isn't it BaCl like you first wrote? Or not BaCl3?)
    Now look at the solubility rules your may have learned and see if you can predict the insoluble product that will cause a reacion to occur when these compounds are mixed.
