Thermometric titrations and classical titrations:

Explain how thermometric titrations are different than classical titrations. Discuss their advantages.

Answer:

Thermometric titrations can be performed only for the systems where heat is evolved or absorbed. In other words these involve change in enthalpy. Further, these do not require any indicator for the detection of end point. However, classical titration through require an indicator but these are good for all kinds of reaction i.e. neutralization, precipitation, redox, complexometric etc. It has the added advantage that equilibrium constant of reaction can be determined.
