Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry - Result Question 13

21. Mixture $X=0.02 \mathrm{~mole}$ of $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{SO}_4\right] \mathrm{Br}$ and 0.02 mole of $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4$ was prepared in 2 L solution.

1 L of mixture $X+$ excess of $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$ solution $\longrightarrow Y$

1 L of mixture $X+$ excess of $\mathrm{BaCl}_2$ solution $\longrightarrow Z$

(b) $0.02,0.01$

(c) $0.01,0.02$

(d) $0.02,0.02$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 21. (a)

Solution:

  1. 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.
