Give evidence that [Co(NH_(3))_(5)Cl]SO_(4) and [Co(NH_(3))_(5)SO_(4)]Cl are ionisation isomers.

Answer»

Solution :When they are dissolved in water, they will give different ions in the solution which can be tested by adding `AgNO_(3)` solution and `BaCl_(2)` solution. When `Cl^(-)` ions are the counter ions, a white precipitate will be OBTAINED with `AgNO_(3)` solution. If `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions are the counter ions, a white precipitate will be obtained with `BaCl_(2)` solution
