When barium chloride solution is added to a solution and a white precipitate insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid is obtained, it indicates the presence of sulfate ions (SO4^2-) in the compound. This reaction is a classic test for sulfate ions. The chemical equation for the reaction is:

BaCl2 (aq) + SO4^2- (aq) -> BaSO4 (s) + 2Cl^- (aq)

The insoluble white precipitate formed is barium sulfate (BaSO4).
