The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given reagents are primary standards, we need to understand the definition and characteristics of a primary standard. A primary standard is a reagent that is: 1. Highly pure. 2. Stable in air. 3. Non-hygroscopic (does not absorb moisture from the air). 4. Has a known and consistent stoichiometry. 5. Can be accurately weighed. Now, let's evaluate each of the given reagents: 1. **KMnO₄ (Potassium permanganate)**: - It is a strong oxidizing agent and can be used as a primary standard. However, it is not stable in the presence of light and can decompose, which makes it less ideal as a primary standard. But it is often used in titrations after being standardized with a primary standard. 2. **NaOH (Sodium hydroxide)**: - NaOH is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air, which makes it unsuitable as a primary standard. It is often standardized against a primary standard. 3. **K₂Cr₂O₇ (Potassium dichromate)**: - This compound is a stable, pure, and non-hygroscopic reagent. It can be accurately weighed and is commonly used as a primary standard in redox titrations. 4. **FeSO₄(NH₄)₂SO₄·6H₂O (Mohr's salt)**: - Mohr's salt is not a primary standard because it is not stable in air and can oxidize, which affects its purity and weight consistency. 5. **H₂C₂O₄·2H₂O (Oxalic acid dihydrate)**: - Oxalic acid is a stable and pure compound that can be accurately weighed. It is often used as a primary standard in acid-base titrations. Based on this evaluation, the primary standards from the given list are: - KMnO₄ (but with caution due to stability issues) - K₂Cr₂O₇ - H₂C₂O₄·2H₂O Thus, the correct answer is: **I, III, and V**. ### Final Answer: The primary standards among the given reagents are: - I. KMnO₄ - III. K₂Cr₂O₇ - V. H₂C₂O₄·2H₂O
