Perchloric acid is a strong acid, whereas potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) is a weak acid. Therefore, perchloric acid will protonate KHP to form phthalic acid. In other words, even though both are considered acids, KHP is more basic than perchloric acid (when you compare their pKa or Ka, the true measure of acid strength).
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "standardized" however. Do you mean doing a titration? Often a solution of KHP is used to calibrate a pH meter because it's pH in solution is very stable. I would be surprised if a titration was done with perchloric acid and KHP however, but I'm not sure what else you could mean by asking why an acid is standardized using KHP.
KHP is the primary standard used for the standarization of perchloric acid, usually 0.1M HCLO4 in concentration. It is the recommended primary standard in the pharmaceutical industry for analytical testing using perchloric acid for non-aqueous titration determinations. The protonation of KHP to phthalic acid when reacted with perchloric acid can be determined stoichiometrically. Using a dried KHP standard of known purity allows the determination of HCLO4.

No it is a compound, a salt to be specific.
KHP + NaOH = H2O + NaP +KP (non-équilibré)
Several organic compounds have that formula. However, the way that it's written... with a lone hydrogen in front... strongly implies that the answer is probably phenol. Phenol is a benzene ring with an alcohol group attached to one of the carbons. The hydrogen in the alcohol is less strongly held than is typical of alcoholic hydrogens, so phenol is a weak acid (most alcohols are neutral) and even has the older name of "carbolic acid" to reflect this.
KHP (potassium hydrogen phthalate) is available extremely pure (which is always good for a primary standard) and gives a very sharp end-point especially with Crystal Violet Indicator

Potassium Hyrdogen Phthalate can be written as KHP.The balanced equation for Potassium hydrogen phthalate and calcium hydroxide is:2KHC8H4O41- (aq) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) -----> Ca2+ (aq) + 2KC8H4O41- (aq) + 2H2O
Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate
No it is a compound, a salt to be specific.
No, it is monobasic acid because one of the two acidic hydrogen is already displaced by potassium ion.

KHP + NaOH = H2O + NaP +KP (non-équilibré)
The separate components of this compound, potassium hydrogen phthalate are one potassium, five hydrogen, eight carbon and four oxygen atoms. The total molar mass is then 204.221 grams per mole.

Perchloric acid
Because Adolf Hitler, according to record, whilst trying to make the atomic bomb, got his finger stuck in himmlers anus. as he removed it, liquid s**T came out in a "spray" form. This was very funny to the other Nazi babies. So Adolf got some potassium hydrogen phthalate and burned the C**ts. Then Adolf said to Himmler "f**k me that's a good primary standard batt!"
Perchloric acid is dissociated in water.
