Solution

The correct option is D excess hydrochloric acid and barium chloride solution
For testing sodium carbonate solution for the presence of sulphate ions as impurities, one should add excess hydrochloric acid and barium chloride solution.
Excess hydrochloric acid will neutralize sodium carbonate solution.
$N a_{2} C O_{3} + 2 H C l \to 2 N a C l + H_{2} O + C O_{2}$
Sulphate ions will react with barium chloride solution to form white precipitate of barium sulphate.
$B a C l_{2} + S O_{4}^{2 -} \to B a S O_{4} ↓ + 2 C l^{-}$
