Which of the following complex will give white precipitate with barium...
Since the reagent is BaCl2(aq), displacement reaction will take place. The resulting solution, if insoluble in water, will form a white precipitate. Both BaNO2 and BaCl2 are soluble in water and hence will not form a precipitate. BaSO4, however, is insoluble in water and hence forms a white precipitate.

Explanation:
Barium chloride solution (BaCl2) is used to identify the presence of sulfate ions (SO4^2-) in a given solution. When BaCl2 solution is added to a sulfate-containing solution, a white precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSO4) is formed.
Out of the given options, [Cr(NH3)5Cl]SO4 contains the sulfate ion (SO4^2-), which can react with BaCl2 to form white precipitate of BaSO4. On the other hand, [Co(NH3)4Cl2]NO2 and [Cr(NH3)5SO4]Cl do not contain sulfate ions, so they will not form a white precipitate with BaCl2 solution.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - [Cr(NH3)5Cl]SO4.
