Advantages and disadvantages of volumetric titration

The advantages of volumetric titration are:

• The main advantage of volumetric titration is that it is a simple and economical method.

• Volumetric titration is not sophisticated, so no skill is required to handle it

• Volumetric titration is fast and gives accurate results.

• It is a simple method compared to other types of evaluation.

• The reaction can be identified visually at the equilibrium or at the endpoint.

The disadvantages of volumetric titration are:

• Some factors such as pH, temperature, and humidity can affect the titration results because it is an open system.

• Human error may occur during processing and may affect accuracy.

• Requires an indicator for reactions to occur.

• The big disadvantage of volumetric titration is that it can produce large volumes of chemical residues that need to be removed.

• Requires reactions to occur in the liquid phase.
