The balanced chemical equation between ammonium sulfate $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and barium acetate $Ba(C_2H_3O_2)_2$ results in the formation of barium sulfate $BaSO_4$ as a precipitate and aqueous ammonium acetate $NH_4C_2H_3O_2$. The correct stoichiometry requires two moles of ammonium acetate for every mole of ammonium sulfate and barium acetate reacted, which is accurately represented in option B.
