Question

The octahedral complex [Co(NH3)5SO4] Cl exists in two isomeric forms X and Y. Isomer X reacts with AgNO3 to give a white precipitate, but does not react with BaCl2. Isomer Y gives white precipitate with BaCl2 but does not react with AgNO3 Isomers X and Y are (A) ionisation isomers (B) linkage isomers (C) coordination isomers (D) solvate isomers

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

To give precipitate with AgNO3, the isomer must be [Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl and to give precipitate with BaCl2, it must be [Co(NH3)5.Cl] SO4. They are ionisation isomers.

Q. The octahedral complex [Co(NH3​)5​SO4​]Cl exists in two isomeric forms X and Y. Isomer X reacts with AgNO3​ to give a white precipitate, but does not react with BaCl2​. Isomer Y gives white precipitate with BaCl2​ but does not react with AgNO3​ Isomers X and Y are

ionisation isomers

linkage isomers

coordination isomers

solvate isomers

To give precipitate with AgNO3​, the isomer must be [Co(NH3​)5​SO4​]Cl and to give precipitate with BaCl2​, it must be [Co(NH3​)5​.Cl]SO4​. They are ionisation isomers.

To give precipitate with $A g N O_{3}$ , the isomer must be $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} S O_{4}] Cl$ and to give precipitate with $B a C l_{2}$ , it must be $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} . Cl] S O_{4}$ .
They are ionisation isomers.
