to give yellow precipitate. When the sodium carbonate extract of the salt solution is heated with conc.

\mathrm{HNO_3}

and ammonium molybdate, it resulted a canary yellow precipitate. The cation and anion present in the salt are respectively,

(1) $\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}$ and $\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}$
(2) $\mathrm{Ba^{2+}}$ and $\mathrm{PO_4^{3-}}$ Official answer
