    Which method can be used to distinguish \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}][Cr{{(N{{O}_{2}})}_{6}}]\] and \[[Cr{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}][Co{{(N{{O}_{2}})}_{6}}]\]

    A) By measurement of their conductivity

    B) By titration method

    C) By precipitation method with \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]

    D) By electrolysis of their aqueous solutions

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The given compounds are isomeric. They can be distinguished by electrolysis of their aqueous solution.
    On electrolysis of its aqueous solution the complex ions of cobalt i.e.\[{{\left[ Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}} \right]}^{3+}}\] of the complex \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}][Cr{{(N{{O}_{2}})}_{6}}]\] moves towards cathode (i.e., negative electrode) and on this electrode finally cobalt would be deposited.
    On electrolysis of aqueous solution of the complex ion of chromium \[{{[i.e.,Cr{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}\}}^{3+}}]\] of the complex \[[Cr{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}][Co{{(N{{O}_{2}})}_{6}}]\] moves towards cathode (i.e., negative electrode) and on this electrode chromium would finally be deposited.
