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 solutionwhich 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.
`[Co(NH_(3))_(5)Cl]SO_(4)(aq)+BaCl_(2)(aq) rarr underset(ppt)(BaSO_(4)(s)darr)`
`[Co(NH_(3))_(5)Cl]SO_(4)(aq)+AgNO_(3) rarr "No REACTION"`
`[Co(NH_(3))_(5)SO_(4)]Cl(aq)+BaCl_(2)(aq) rarr "No reaction"`
`[Co(NH_(3))_(5)SO_(4)]Cl(aq)+AgNO_(3)(aq) rarr underset(ppt)(AgCl(s)darr)`
