Step-by-step solution
(A) NaOH is a secondary standard because it is deliquescent and readily absorbs moisture and CO ₂ from the atmosphere. (A) (II) (B) K₂Cr₂O₇ is available in high purity, is stable in air, and is used as a primary standard in redox titrations. (B) (I) (C) KMnO ₄ is a secondary standard because its aqueous solutions are unstable, decompose in the presence of light, and it is difficult to obtain perfectly pure. (C) (IV) (D) Na₂CO₃ can be obtained in highly pure, anhydrous form and is used as a primary standard for acid
