Is thermometric is better than potentiometric?
1. For every different type of potentiometric titration, you need a different probe: for acid base titrations a pH probe is used; for redox titrations, a redox probe. For chloride titrations, a chloride ISE or a silver billet electrode is necessary; for EDTA titrations, a special ISE selective for the element in question. The list goes on and on. Hopelessly complicated, isn’t it? With thermometric titrimetry, the one simple thermistor probe does it all. 2. Potentiometric titrimetry is based on the ability of an electric current to pass through the titrating sample to register a measurable potential difference. This precludes titration in non-conducting environments, for instance, many non-aqueous solvents. Probes such as pH electrodes perform very poorly under such circumstances. In contrast, thermometric titrimetry requires only a change in the rate of the temperature, and it doesn’t matter if this is in an aqueous or non-aqueous solution. This broadens the number of applications to w
