CoSO 4 Cl.5NH 3 exists in two isomeric forms ‘A’ and ‘B’. Isomer ‘A’ reacts with AgNO 3 to give a white precipitate but does not react with BaCl 2 . Isomer ‘B’ gives a white precipitate with BaCl 2 but does not react with AgNO 3 . Answer the following questions. Identify ‘A’ and ‘B’ and write their structural formulas.
Options
- AIsomer 'A' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl]SO 4 and Isomer 'B' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 SO 4 ]Cl
- BIsomer 'A' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 SO 4 ]Cl and Isomer 'B' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl]SO 4
- CIsomer 'A' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl]SO 4 and Isomer 'B' is [CoSO 4 (NH 3 ) 5 ]Cl
- DIsomer 'A' is [CoSO 4 (NH 3 ) 5 ]Cl and Isomer 'B' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl]SO 4
Correct answer
A. Isomer 'A' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl]SO 4 and Isomer 'B' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 SO 4 ]Cl
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Isomer 'A' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl]SO 4 and Isomer 'B' is [Co(NH 3 ) 5 SO 4 ]Cl
