CoSO4Cl.5NH3 exists in two isomeric forms ‘A' and ‘B'. Isomer ‘A' reacts with AgNO3 to give white precipitate, but does not react with BaCl2. Isomer ‘B' gives white precipitate with BaCl2 but does not react with AgNO3. Answer the following questions.

CoSO4Cl.5NH3:
(i) Isomer A reacts with AgN03 but not with BaCl2, it shows it has CP ion outside the coordination sphere.
Hence, A = [Co(NH3 )5SO4]Cl

Hence, B = [CO(NH3)5Cl]S04
(ii) Ionisation isomerism
(iii) A = Pentaamminesulphatocobalt (III) chloride and B = Pentaamminesulphatocobalt (III) sulphate
