Answer:

The correct answer to the question are

C. Not Hygroscopic

F. Medium to High Molecular Weight

J. Stable

Step-by-step explanation:

In metrology, a primary standard s one that is adequately accurate whereby it is not gauged by other standards. Primary standards are specified in units such as the mass or length or time.

In titration a primary standard is used to determine the concentration of a substance. Here small amounts of a reagent and a solution are combined to cause a chemical reaction to occur. The occurrence of the reaction is evidence of the correct concentration of the solution. Standard solutions, solutions with a definite concentration are made from primary standards

The following are characteristics of a good primary standard

  • Cheap or inexpensive
  • not toxic
  • not hygroscopic
  • High weight in comparison to other reagents
  • Stable
  • Very purity
