Detailed Solution

[CoBr(NH₃)₅]SO₄ and [Co(SO₄)(NH₃)₅]Br are ionization isomers.
They will give different ions in the solution.
[CoBr(NH₃)₅]SO₄⇌ [CoBr(NH₃)₅]²⁺+ ${SO}_{4}^{2 -}$
[Co(SO₄)(NH₃)₅]Br ⇌ [Co(SO₄)(NH₃)₅]⁺+ Br⁻
Thus, total charges obtained by the ionization of one molecule each of [CoBr(NH₃)₅]SO₄ and [Co(SO₄)(NH₃)₅]Br are 4 and 2 respectively.
Hence, their aqueous solutions exhibit different molar conductivities.
