Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The complex [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 dissociates to
give [Co(NH3)5Br]2+ and SO2−4 ions. [Co(NH3)5Br]2+ does not dissociate in aqueous solution so Br− is not obtained. SO2−4
ion reacts with barium chloride to give white precipitate of
BaSO4. SO2−4+BaCl2→BaSO4↓+2Cl−
