TITRATION THEORY
1.3 Advantages and Disadvantages of Titrations
Some advantages of titrations as an analytical technique are:
• More precise results than many instrumental methods, such as measurement
by electrode, the accuracy of the measurement is up to 0.1%
• Simple methods, reasonable capital costs, and easy training
• Suitability to measure major components of a mixture or product
• Automation can reduce time and labor spent on each analysis
Some disadvantages of titrations are:
• Time it takes to prepare standards and titrants
• Good technique is required to achieve precise results (training and practice
required)
• Not suitable for determining trace or minor components of a mixture or product
• Limited dynamic range, it may require additional sample preparations (dilution)
and repeat analyses
