Given below are two statements: Statement I : Aqueous solution of K Cr O is preferred as a primary standard in volumetric analysis over Na Cr O aqueous solution. Statement II : K Cr O has a higher solubility in water than Na Cr O . In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- AStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true

Correct answer: A
- Check Statement I
A primary standard in volumetric analysis should be:
- highly pure,
- stable,
- non-hygroscopic,
- have high molar mass,
- and should allow accurate weighing.
Potassium dichromate, , is commonly used as a primary standard oxidizing agent because it is:
- available in pure form,
- stable in air,
- non-hygroscopic,
- and can be weighed accurately.
Sodium dichromate, , is more hygroscopic/deliquescent and is therefore less suitable as a primary standard.
So, Statement I is true.
- Check Statement II
Statement II says:
has a higher solubility in water than .
This is incorrect. In general, sodium salts are more soluble in water than corresponding potassium salts. In particular, is more soluble in water than .
Hence, Statement II is false.
- Choose the correct option
- Statement I: True
- Statement II: False
Therefore, the correct option is:
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = A
My derived answer = A
So, the answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
