If the available salts are sodium carbonate decahydrate, sodium bromide, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, sodium iodine, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, sodium sulfate decahydrate, and sodium sulfite, then ....
Ba2+(aq) will precipitate with carbonate (CO32-), sulfate (SO42-) so all the others would NOT produce a precipitate with barium nitrate.
Ag+(aq) will precipitate with CO32-, bromide (Br-), chloride (Cl-), phosphate (PO43-) and iodide (I-)., so those that will NOT produce a precipitate would be silver nitrate and silver nitrite.
