Q18 / 90 · KVPY 2019 (SB/SX) · Chemistry

The octahedral complex CoNH35SO4Cl 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

  • Correct answer
    A
    ionisation isomers
  • B
    linkage isomers
  • C
    coordination isomers
  • D
    solvate isomers

Solution

To give precipitate with AgNO3, the isomer must be CoNH35SO4Cl and to give precipitate with BaCl2, it must be CoNH35.ClSO4.

They are ionisation isomers. 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
