Identify the correct statements : Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. D and E Only
  2. A, B and E Only
  3. A, B, C and E Only
  4. A, B and C Only

Answer

(4) A, B and C Only

Solution

A primary standard is a substance whose solution of exact concentration can be made by direct weighing. It should be available in pure form, be stable (not hygroscopic, not react with air), be readily soluble in water, have a high relative molar mass, and react instantaneously and stoichiometrically.

A. Hydrated salts such as oxalic acid dihydrate (H2C2O4 2H2O) and Mohr's salt (FeSO4 (NH4)2SO4 6H2O) are used as primary standards. Correct.

B. It should not react with air (no oxidation, no absorption of CO2 or moisture). Correct.

C. Its reactions should be instantaneous and stoichiometric. Correct.

D. It must be soluble in water to prepare its standard solution. Incorrect.

E. It should have a high relative molar mass so that weighing errors are small. Incorrect.

A, B and C only are correct.
