Question

for Ba2+ + S2- + Na+ + (SO4)2- why the precipitate is BaSO4 and not BaS? Aren't sulfides of group 2 anions slightly soluble, shouldn't we consider slightly soluble outcomes as precipitates too? Or since sulfates form totally insoluble compounds with group 2 cations did we neglect the other slightly insoluble compound BaS
