Describe a simple test that will allow you to distinguish between the compounds: [Co(NH_(3))_(5)Br]SO_(4) and [Co(NH_(3))_(5)SO_(4)]Br.

Answer»

Solution :i) Treat both the isomers separately with aqueous `BaCl_(2)` solution. The ISOMER which gives a white precipitate is `[Co(NH_(3))_(5)Br]SO_(4)`.
ii) Treat both the isomes separately with aqueous `AgNO_(3)` SOLUTIONS. The isomer which gives a light yellow precipate is `[Co(NH_(3))_(5)SO_(4)]Br`.
