Two different compounds have the formulation CoBr(SO4)·5NH3. Compound A is dark violet, and compound B is red-violet. When compound A is treated withAgNO3(aq), no reaction occurs, whereas compound B reacts with AgNO3(aq) to form a white precipitate. When compound A is treated with BaCl2(aq), a white precipitate is formed, whereas compound B has no reaction with BaCl2(aq). Answer the following questions: a. Is Co in the same oxidation state in these complexes? Explain the reactivity of compounds A and B with AgNO3(aq) and BaCl2(aq). b. Are compounds A and B isomers of one another? If so, which category from isomers best describes the isomerism observed for these complexes? c. Would compounds A and B be expected to be strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes,
