    Which of the following is a primary standard in volumetric analysis?

    A) \[FeS{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[FeS{{O}_{4}}{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}6{{H}_{2}}O\]

    C)  \[NaOH\]

    D) \[HCl\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Mohrs salt,\[FeS{{O}_{4}}{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}.6{{H}_{2}}O\]is a primary standard (i.e., pure and stable). On the other hand\[FeS{{O}_{4}}\]is always contaminated with\[F{{e}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}.NaOH\]is hygroscopic and always contains some moisture.\[HCl\]may lose some of\[HCl\]vapours on keeping. Thus they are not stable and pure and are not a primary standard.
