Then it is possible to measure accurately the weight of it, so you know exactly how many moles of the primary standard you have. When it would have been hygroscopic then your actual mass of the standard is lower than the measured, caused by the extra weight of water.

Is EDTA considered as a primary standard?

No. Chemical compounds have to fulfill a number of requirements before they can be classified and used as a primary standard: A primary standard in chemistry is a reliable, readily quantified substance. Features of a primary standard include: 1. High purity 2. Stability (low reactivity) 3. Low hygroscopicity and efflorescence 4. High solubility (if used in titration) 5. High equivalent weight 6. Non-toxicity 7. Ready and cheap availability Edta and particularly the sodium salts of EDTA which are frequently used do not fulfill the first requirement. Therefore the solution of EDTA has to be standardised against a known and accepted primary standard.
