Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : Potassium hydrogen phthalate is a primary standard for standardisation of sodium hydroxide solution. Statement (II) : In this titration phenolphthalein can be used as indicator. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Correct answer
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Step-by-step solution
A primary standard solution is a highly purified compound that is used to standardise a solution of known concentration for use in titrations and other analytical chemistry procedures. Potassium hydrogen phthalate is primary standard for NaOH . Formula for Potassium hydrogen phthalate is C 6 H 5 O 4 K . It behaves as a monobasic acid. Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator in this titration. The reaction is, Hence option A is the answer.
