Answer

Iron (II) sulphate

Reason — Iron (II) sulphate (FeSO4) reacts with NaOH to give pale green precipitate of ferrous hydroxide.

FeSO4pale green solution+2NaOHFe(OH)2dirty green ppt+Na2SO4colourless in solution\underset{\text{pale green solution}}{{\text{FeSO}4}} + 2\text{NaOH} \longrightarrow \underset{\text{dirty green ppt}}{\text{Fe(OH)}2↓} + \underset{\text{colourless in solution}}{\text{Na}2\text{SO}4}

The sulphate ion (SO42-) from FeSO4 reacts with BaCl2 to form, white precipitate of BaSO4

Ba2+ + SO42- ⟶ BaSO4
