I arrive in Barcelona by air at 8:50 am. Does this leave me enough time to get to the train station by 12:10 pm for the trip to Pamplona
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
We arrived in Barcelona by plane and easily transferred to the Metro and passed Estacion Sants where your train to Pamplona departs in short order. You should have no difficulty making the connection.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Renfe Cercanias operates commuter train R2 from Terminal 2 at Barcelona Airport to Barcelona Sants. The train runs every half hour and trip time is 22 minutes.

You'll have to do your own time appreciation to allow for deplane, baggage claim, passport check, and getting to the Cercanias station. (if you arrive at terminal 1 you will need to add in shuttle time). Don't forget to add in 'slush' in case your plane does not arrive on time.

Renfe. Find 'Commuter trains' button then 'Barcelona' button to obtain schedule.

Three hours should be enough time. Caveat is that I have been on flights that have been more than 3 hours late.

Here are websites for airport and train station. I would suggest being familiar with the maps.

Aena Barcelona Airport

adif Barcelona Sants
