will a precipitate form when Solutions of Ba(NO3)2 and KOH are mixed
No.
The reaction of Ba(NO3)2 and KOH is a double-displacement reaction. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction can be written as-
If you look at any standard solubility table, you will find out that both the products formed (Ba(OH)2 and KNO3) are completely soluble in water and are found in ionized form as shown below -
all these ions are water-soluble. Hence no precipitate forms when Ba(NO3)2 and KOH are mixed.
