In [Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4, Cl- is a ligand bound to Co, and SO4^2- is the free counter ion — this compound gives a precipitate with BaCl2 (free SO4^2-) but not readily with AgNO3.
In [Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl, SO4^2- is bound inside the coordination sphere and Cl- is the free counter ion — this compound gives an immediate precipitate with AgNO3 (free Cl-) but not readily with BaCl2.
