Answer:

sodium fluoride

Explanation:

When we add sodium fluoride to a solution of a given mixture, we get barium fluoride from Ba, which would be an insoluble salt, and silver fluoride from Ag, which would be a soluble salt. 

The solubility rule will be used to determine the barium salt that forms as a precipitate and leaves Ag+ salt in the solution.

From the following equations, we will see that the precipitate is formed in Ba but Ag remains dissolved in the solution.

[tex]Ba(NO_3)_2{(aq)} + 2NaF_{(aq)} \to BaF_{2(s)} +2NaNo_{3(aq)}[/tex]

[tex]AgNo_{3(aq)} +NaF_{(aq)} \to AgF_{(aq)} + NaNO_{(aq)}[/tex]
