Question 6. What makes KHP a primary standard?
  1.    highly stable and can be dried of atmospheric moisture
  2.    reacts precisely and reproducibly
  3.    can be precisely massed and molecular mass known
  4.    all of the above
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> all of the above

Question 7. What is the impact of adding small volume of water to the KHP in the Erlenmeyer in Part A?
  1.    dilutes KHP so less base solution required to neutralize
  2.    need to add a lil bit more KHP to even things out
  3.    must redo titration
  4.    no impact; only need approximate KHP solution volume for Part A
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> no impact; only need approximate KHP solution volume for Part A

Question 8. Why do we use water to wash the solution from the burette into the flask
  1.    To ensure accuracy (all solution reacts)
  2.    To dilute the reagents
  3.    To help the reaction go faster
  4.    To see the colour of the indicator better
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> To ensure accuracy (all solution reacts)
