Application:

Because heat of reaction is the most common property of chemical processes, thermometric titrations have a huge range of applicability in quantitative analysis. It involves the determination of the concentration of an unknown substance, a reaction stoichiometry, and equilibrium constant and the thermodynamic quantities ?G, ?H and ?S. These have been applied successfully to all types of titration processes including acid-base (neutralization) reactions, redex reactions, precipitation reactions, and complexometric reactions in media ranging from aqueous at room temperature to molten salt at 350°C. Precision and accuracy of measurements depends largely on the enthalpy of the reaction involved ranging from 0.2%. Lowest limit of concentration that can be successfully titrated is 10^-4 M. The main limitation of the method is that it is non selective.
