$\ce{COSO_4Cl.5NH_3}$ exists in two isomeric forms $‘A’$ and $‘B’$. Isomer $‘A’$ reacts with $\ce{AgNO_3}$ to give white precipitate, but does not react with $\ce{BaCl_2.}$ Isomer $‘B’$ gives white precipitate with $\ce{BaCl_2} $ but does not react with $\ce{AgNO_3}$. Answer the following questions.
  1. Identify $‘A’$ and $‘B’$ and write their structural formulas.
  2. Name the type of isomerism involved.
  3. Give the $\text{IUPAC}$ name of $‘A’$ and $‘B’.$
Vapour pressures of pure acetone and chloroform at 328 K are 741.8 mm Hg and 632.8 mm Hg respectively. Assuming that they form ideal solution over the entire range of composition, plot $p_{\text {total }}, p_{\text {chloroform }}$ and $p_{\text {acetone }}$ as a function of $x_{\text {acetone }}$ The experimental data observed for different compositions of mixture is :
$100 \times x_{\text {acetone }}$011.823.436.050.858.264.572.1
$p_{\text {acetone }} / mm Hg$054.9110.1202.4322.7405.9454.1521.1
$p_{\text {chloroform }} / mm Hg$632.8548.1469.4359.7257.7193.6161.2120.7
Plot this data also on the same graph paper. Indicate whether it has positive deviation or negative deviation from the ideal solution.
