The compound (Co coordination number 6) gives no precipitate with excess but a white precipitate with . Which statement is correct?

  1. AIt is ; its ionisation isomer gives a pale-yellow precipitate with and a white precipitate with .
  2. BIt is ; its ionisation isomer gives a white precipitate with and none with .
  3. CIt is ; its ionisation isomer gives no precipitate with either or .
  4. DIt is ; its ionisation isomer gives a pale-yellow precipitate with and none with .

Answer: D

A white precipitate means free sulfate; no means bromide is coordinated. So the compound is (coordination number ). Its ionisation isomer has free (pale-yellow ) and bound sulfate (no ).
