Answer #1

1) BaCl2 + H2S04   reacts to give Ba2SO4 and HCl where Ba2SO4 gives a white precipitate which is insoluble in aqueous solution

but NaCl + H2SO4 gives Na2SO4 which is highly soluble

this way we can distinguish them

LiCl + CaCO3 reacts to give LiCO3 and CaCl2 where LiCO3 is sparingly soluble in aqueous solution

on the other hand NaCl + CaCO3 reacts to give Na2CO3 where Na2CO3 is completely soluble in aqueous solution

this way we can distinguish them
