Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2026 · 24 January, Shift 1

Consider a mixture XX which is made by dissolving 0.40.4 mol of [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br[\mathrm{Co(NH_3)_5SO_4}]Br and 0.40.4 mol of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4[\mathrm{Co(NH_3)_5Br}]SO_4 in water to make 44 L of solution. When 22 L of mixture XX is allowed to react with excess AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO_3}, it forms precipitate YY. The rest 22 L of mixture XX reacts with excess BaCl2\mathrm{BaCl_2} to form precipitate ZZ. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

  • A

    YY is BaSO4\mathrm{BaSO_4} and ZZ is AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}

  • B

    0.10.1 mol of YY is formed

  • C

    0.20.2 mol of ZZ is formed

  • D

    0.40.4 mol of ZZ is formed
