The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that the complex \([Co(NH_3)_5Br]SO_4\) gives a white precipitate with barium chloride (\(BaCl_2\)). 2. **Dissociation of the Complex**: The complex \([Co(NH_3)_5Br]SO_4\) is a coordination compound. When it is dissolved in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions. The dissociation can be represented as: \[ [Co(NH_3)_5Br]SO_4 \rightarrow [Co(NH_3)_5Br]^{2+} + SO_4^{2-} \] Here, the complex ion \([Co(NH_3)_5Br]^{2+}\) carries a positive charge and the sulfate ion \(SO_4^{2-}\) carries a negative charge. 3. **Reaction with Barium Chloride**: The sulfate ion \(SO_4^{2-}\) can react with barium chloride (\(BaCl_2\)). The reaction is: \[ SO_4^{2-} + Ba^{2+} \rightarrow BaSO_4 \downarrow \] Barium sulfate (\(BaSO_4\)) is known to be insoluble in water and forms a white precipitate. 4. **Conclusion on the Assertion**: Since the sulfate ion from the dissociation of the complex reacts with barium ions to form a white precipitate of barium sulfate, the assertion is true. 5. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that the complex dissociates to give \(Br^{-}\) and \(SO_4^{2-}\). However, from our dissociation equation, we see that the complex actually dissociates to give \([Co(NH_3)_5Br]^{2+}\) and \(SO_4^{2-}\), not \(Br^{-}\). 6. **Conclusion on the Reason**: Therefore, the reason provided is false because it incorrectly states the products of the dissociation. 7. **Final Evaluation**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The assertion is true, but the reason is false.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that the complex \([Co(NH_3)_5Br]SO_4\) gives a white precipitate with barium chloride (\(BaCl_2\)). 2. **Dissociation of the Complex**: ...
