NEET2006Chemistryd and f Block ElementsActual
Assertion : K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ is used as primary standard in volumetric analysis. Reason : It has a good solubility in water.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
- CIf assertion is true, but reason is false
- DBoth assertion and reason are false statements.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true, but reason is false
Step-by-step solution
K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ is less soluble in water. K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ can be found in pure state and can be accurately weighed. It is not hygroscopic in nature. So K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ is used as a primary standard solution.
