Non-Aqueous Titrations

Various titrimetric methods are available for estimation of acids and bases, except very weak acids and bases which can only be estimated by either non-aqueous methods of titration or potentiometry. Non-aqueous means of titrimetric analysis involve the conversion of weak acid to a strong acid or weak base to a strong base by exerting differentiating effect when dissolved in a basic or acidic solvent. The endpoint of the titrations is determined via non-aqueous indicator solutions such as Crystal violet, Nile blue A, 1-Naphtholbenzein, Oracet blue B.
