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 assertion.
- BIfboth assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
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. It 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.
