JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 3rd April Evening Shift - No. 18)

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. 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:

C, D and E Only
B and D Only
D and E Only
A, C and D Only

Explanation

The primary standard is a highly pure stable compound with a known exact composition that can be accurately weighed and dissolved to creat a solution of known concentration.

$\mathrm{NaOH}$ is hygroscopic and can't be used.

$\mathrm{FeSO}_4 \cdot 6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ is unstable and can be easily oxidised.

$\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ is hygroscopic and can't be used.
