The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given coordination compound reaction and the statements regarding the isomers produced. The reaction is as follows: \[ [Co(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+ + Br^- \rightarrow [Co(NH_3)_3Br_3] + NH_3 \] ### Step 1: Identify the reactant complex ion The reactant complex ion is \([Co(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+\). This complex can exist in two forms: cis and trans. ### Step 2: Analyze the cis isomer 1. **Cis Isomer**: In the cis configuration, the two bromide ligands are adjacent to each other. 2. When one \(NH_3\) ligand is replaced by a \(Br^-\) ion, two types of isomers can be formed: - **Facial Isomer**: All three \(Br\) ligands are adjacent to each other. - **Meridional Isomer**: The \(Br\) ligands are arranged such that two are opposite each other, and one is adjacent. Thus, **two isomers are produced from the cis isomer**. ### Step 3: Analyze the trans isomer 1. **Trans Isomer**: In the trans configuration, the two bromide ligands are opposite each other. 2. When one \(NH_3\) ligand is replaced by a \(Br^-\) ion, only one type of isomer can be formed: - **Meridional Isomer**: Since the \(Br\) ligands are already opposite each other, replacing any \(NH_3\) will lead to a configuration that results in only the meridional isomer. Thus, **only one isomer is produced from the trans isomer**. ### Step 4: Evaluate the statements - **Statement I**: True - Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is a cis-isomer. - **Statement II**: False - Two isomers are not produced if the reactant complex ion is a trans-isomer (only one isomer is produced). - **Statement III**: True - Only one isomer is produced if the reactant complex ion is a trans-isomer. - **Statement IV**: False - Only one isomer is produced if the reactant complex ion is a cis-isomer (not true). ### Conclusion The correct statements are I and III. ### Final Answer The correct statements are: **I and III**.
