Question
Give evidence that $[\ce{Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4}$ and $[\ce{Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl}$ are ionisation isomers.
✓
Answer
The ionisation isomers dissolve in water to yield different ions and thus react differently to various reagents:
$[\ce{Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4 + Ba^{2+} \rightarrow BaSO4(s)} \downarrow$
$[\ce{Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl + Ba^{2+}} \rightarrow$ No reaction
$[\ce{Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4 + Ag}^+ \rightarrow$ No reaction
$[\ce{Co(NH3)5SO4] Cl+ Ag+ \rightarrow AgCl(s)}$
$[\ce{Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4 + Ba^{2+} \rightarrow BaSO4(s)} \downarrow$
$[\ce{Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl + Ba^{2+}} \rightarrow$ No reaction
$[\ce{Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4 + Ag}^+ \rightarrow$ No reaction
$[\ce{Co(NH3)5SO4] Cl+ Ag+ \rightarrow AgCl(s)}$
