Solution
Ba(II) and Pb(II) ions react with potassium chromate to give yellow precipitate of metal chromate. Pb2++K2CrO4→PbCrO4↓yellowprecipitate+2K+ Ba2++K2CrO4→BaCrO4↓yellowprecipitate+2K+ Similarly, Ba(II) and Pb(II) ions react with sodium sulphate to form white precipitate of metal sulphate. Pb2++Na2SO4→PbSO4↓whiteprecipitate+2Na+ Ba2++Na2SO4→BaSO4↓whiteprecipitate+2Na+
