BaCl2 is very soluble in water but CaSO4 is not. So add water. Then filtrated to get the BaSO4. Evaporate the solution and you get back BaCl2

Barium chloride = BaCl2 = is made of Ba(Barium) and Cl2(2 Chlorine atoms).

Calcium sulfate = CaSO4 is made of Ca(Calcium), S(Sulfur) and O4(4 Oxygen atoms)

Hope this was the answer you where looking for.
