Compounds that should not be used as primary standards in titrimetric analysis are
A. \({\mathrm{Na}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cr}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}\)
B. Oxalic acid
C. \(\mathrm{NaOH}\)
D. \({\mathrm{FeSO}}_{4}\cdot 6{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\)
E. Sodium tetraborate
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
[JEE Main 2025, 3 Apr (Shift 2)]
A, C and D Only
A primary standard is a highly pure, stable compound with a known and exact composition that can be accurately weighed and dissolved to prepare a solution of known concentration.
-
NaOH is hygroscopic, so it cannot be used as a primary standard.
-
\({\mathrm{FeSO}}_{4}\cdot 6{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\) is unstable and easily oxidised, so it cannot be used.
-
\({\mathrm{Na}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cr}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}\) is hygroscopic, so it cannot be used.
