(A) It should be purely available in dry form.
(B) It should not undergo chemical change in air.
(C) It should be hygroscopic and should react with another chemical instantaneously and stoichiometrically.
(D) It should be readily soluble in water.
(E) KMnO4 & NaOH can be used as primary standard.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
(A) It should be purely available in dry form.
(B) It should not undergo chemical change in air.
(C) It should be hygroscopic and should react with another chemical instantaneously and stoichiometrically.
(D) It should be readily soluble in water.
(E) KMnO4 & NaOH can be used as primary standard.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- (C) and (D) only
- (B) and (E) only
- (A) and (B) only
- (C) and (E) only
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
A primary standard substance used in titrimetric analysis must satisfy the following criteria:
- It should be available in pure and dry form.
- It must not be hygroscopic (i.e., it should not absorb moisture) or undergo any chemical change in air.
- It should be readily soluble in water.
- KMnO4 and NaOH are not suitable as primary standards due to their hygroscopic nature and tendency to absorb CO2 from air, making them impure.
Incorrect Statements:
- (C): The substance should not be hygroscopic. Hence, this statement is incorrect.
- (E): Both KMnO4 and NaOH are unsuitable as primary standards. This statement is also incorrect.
Final Answer is option (4).

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In the oxalic acid vs KMnO$_4$ (in the presence of dil H$_2$SO$_4$) titration the solution needs to be heated initially to 60°C, but no heating is required in Ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) vs KMnO$_4$ titration (in the presence of dil H$_2$SO$_4$).
Statement II: In oxalic acid vs KMnO$_4$ titration, the initial formation of MnSO$_4$ takes place at high temperature, which then acts as catalyst for further reaction. In the case of FAS vs KMnO$_4$, heating oxidizes Fe$^{2+}$ into Fe$^{3+}$ by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment.
