What is primary & Secondary Standard ? Give Example..

Answer / ananth

Primary standard :
Primary standards are the materials having high purity
values under specified conditions which can be used to
standardise the volumetric solutions.This primary stadards
also used to prepare the solutions which are necessay for
the calibration of analytical instruments.

Secondary standards:
Generally volumetric solutions are
known as secondary standards

What is primary & Secondary Standard ? Give Example..

Answer / anna

primary standard: is a reagent that is stable, pure, it is not hydrated and is of known concentration. for example, Na2CO3, NaCl etc

secondary standard: is a reagent that is unstabe and very reactive with atmosphere so, have not a conctant concentration. For example, NaOH, H2SO4, etc

What is primary & Secondary Standard ? Give Example..

Answer / kamal kishore kashyap

Primary standard are the compounds having reagent(analyte)
of high purity and can directly used for perpration of
standard solutions.
Example:- Nacl is primary standard for AgNO3
NaOH is primary standard for HCl

Secondary Standard solutions are analysed against primary
standard solutions. Basically these are perpared in
laboratory for specific analysis.

Answer / areeba anees

A primary standard solution is one whose concentration does not change with a passage of time. It is a stable substance. It does not react with the atmosphere.
Whereas a secondary standard solution is an unstable one whose concentration changes with a passage of time.

What is primary & Secondary Standard ? Give Example..

Answer / faisal jameel

Primary standard
1- are those whose purity is already known.
2-non reactive.
3-used to validiate secondary standard.
4-are thermostable.
Ex- NACL, SODIUM OXALATE, NA2CO3.

Secondary standard-
1-reacts with moisture.
2-not thermostable.
3-validiate by primary standard.
4- not stable at room temperature.
Ex-NAOH, HCL, H2SO2

Answer / abdul razaque

primary standards are those substances having constant concentration ( they do not react with moist)
secondary standard are those substances whose variable concentration ( they react with moist)

What is primary & Secondary Standard ? Give Example..

Answer / habib dawar

primary standard are those which have highest stability,purity,stability and doesn't fluctuate in variable environmental condition.

while secondary standard are those which have impurity(<96-98%),unstable and fluctuate with environmental condition(like sensitive to moist,light,)
