Why is it essential to wash the precipitate with water before estimating it quantitatively?

$A$ $0.166 \ g$ sample of an organic compound was digested with conc. $H_2SO_4$ and then distilled with $NaOH$. The ammonia gas evolved was passed through $50.0 \ mL$ of $0.5 \ N \ H_2SO_4$. The excess acid required $30.0 \ mL$ of $0.25 \ N \ NaOH$ for complete neutralization. The mass percentage of nitrogen in the organic compound is $..... \ \%$.

Iodine and hypo react to produce

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Permanganate titrations are not performed in the presence of hydrochloric acid.
Reason $R$: Chlorine is formed as a consequence of the oxidation of hydrochloric acid.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

$10 \, mL$ of concentrated $HCl$ were diluted to $1 \, L$. $20 \, mL$ of this diluted solution required $25 \, mL$ of $0.1 \, N$ sodium hydroxide solution for complete neutralization. The normality of the concentrated hydrochloric acid will be:
