ABSTRACT

Thermometric titrimetry is a method of titrimetric analysis that consists in recording the changes in temperature of the solution to titrate in the proportion that the titrating solution is added. The obtained records (thermograms) are diagrams and variations of temperature as a function of the volume of added titrant solution. The apparatus has three principal types of components; an automatic burette, an isoperibolic calorimeter and the ensemble of measurement and recording of which the lead of temperature which is a thermistor. The method has numerous possibilities both in physical chemistry and analytical chemistry. In physical chemistry, it permits obtaining the enthalpy (often standard) of the studied process, in some cases, its permits obtaining its Gibbs energy change and as a result its entropy. In analytical chemistry, the method permits carrying out some titrations with success which are impracticable with usual methods of titration. These properties are due to the use of thermistors.
