Answer:
Correct Answer: 21. (a)
Solution:
- 1.0 L of mixture $X$ contain 0.01 mole of each $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{SO}_4\right] \mathrm{Br}$
and $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4$. Also, with $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$, only
$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{SO}_4\right] \mathrm{Br}$ reacts to give AgBr precipitate as
$\underset{1.0 \text { mol }}{\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{SO}_4\right] \mathrm{Br}}+\underset{\text { Excess }}{\mathrm{AgNO}_3} \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{SO}_4\right] \mathrm{NO}_3+\underset{1.0 \mathrm{~mol}}{\mathrm{AgBr}}$
With $\mathrm{BaCl}_2$, only $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4$ reacts giving $\mathrm{BaSO}_4$ precipitate as
$\underset{1.0 \mathrm{~mol}}{\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4}+\underset{\text { Excess }}{\mathrm{BaCl}_2} \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2+\underset{1 \mathrm{~mol}}{\mathrm{BaSO}_4}$
Hence, moles of $Y$ and $Z$ are 0.01 each.
