You can show the presence of Sulphate in a mixture by adding barium chloride solution followed by dil HCl. A white precipitate that does not dissolvev in dil HCl indicates the presence of sulphate ioins.
Ba2+ (aq) + SO4^2- (aq) ---------> BaSO4 (s)
Iodide ions can be shown by adding to the suspected iodide a solution of lead nitrate where upon a brilliant yellow ppt is thrown down
Pb2+ (aq) + 2 I- (aq) --------> PbI2 (aq)
Also addition of silver nitrate will give a yellow ppt which is insoluble in ammonia solution.
Ag+ (aq) + I- (aq) ----------> AgI (s)
