A solution is found to have varying quantities of silver, barium and iron (III) ions.
Suggest a procedure for seperating the ions by precipitation.
Ok ...silver is +1, barium is +2, and iron (III) is +3... so I would have to add anions of the same value (but negative) to the solution in order to form precipitates.
so for example i could add OH^- and it would form a precipitate with the silver.
I could add CO3^2- and it would form a precipitate with the barium.
And I could add PO4^3- and it would form a precipitate with the iron (III) ions.
This procedure would separate all the metal ions.

This is right... right?
