Sodium hydoxide cannot be used as a primary standard because of its hygroscopic properties as a solid. Because it is so prone to absorbing water, it is impossible to accurately measure the mass of a solid sample, so instead it must be put into solution and tirated with a known acidic solution, such as HCl. This makes it a secondary standard as opposed to a primary standard. By. Kuatsienu Divine

HCl is not used as a primary standard
It is primary standard is a substance that has a known high digree of purity ,reatively large molar mass ,is nonhygroscopic and reacts in a predic table way.
HCl is a gas which is dissolved in water to form the solution the concentration expressed is very approximate so its not a primary standard.
i need ideas to complete my assignment
The best standard is borax from NIST- code 187e.
Borax can be used as a primary standard because it does not decompose in normal storage conditions. The salt will dissociate in water and the anion will be hydrolyzed. This leaves hydroxide ions to be titrated with the hydrochloric acid.

In order for a substance to be a primary standard it must be able to dissolve in water. Since iodine is unable to do this it cannot be used as a primary standard
A primary standard substance is referred to a reagent which is pure. This is a substance that can be weighed easily due to its purity.
Primary standard can be defined in metrology, as a standard that is accurate enough that it is not calibrated by or subordinate to the other standards. Primary standards are used to calibrate other standards.
