Thermometric Titration for H2 Chemistry Paper 4: Temperature Graphs, Endpoint, and Enthalpy
Study guide
Q: What is thermometric titration?
A: It is a titration where the endpoint is found from a temperature change rather than a colour change.
TL;DR
In thermometric titration, you add reagent in measured portions, record temperature after each addition, plot temperature against volume, and estimate the equivalence volume from the intersection of two graph trends. The practical marks come from temperature control, small volume increments near the endpoint, cooling correction, and ACE discussion of heat loss, probe lag, and mixing.
Quick thermometric map
- The endpoint comes from a graph, not an indicator: Record temperature after each volume added.
- Small increments improve endpoint precision: Use closer volume spacing near the expected intersection.
- ACE explains why the graph may shift: Discuss heat loss, probe lag, mixing, and cooling correction.
Concrete example: If readings jump from to

Practical course completion-record note
For practical, lab, and experiment courses, Eclat Institute maintains centre-held attendance records and may also issue an internal attendance or completion document based on participation and internal assessment.
- For SEAB private-candidate declarations, the key evidence is the centre's attendance or completion record, not a government-issued certificate.
- This is an internal centre-issued certificate, not an MOE/SEAB qualification or accreditation.
- Recognition (if any) is determined by the receiving school, institution, or employer.
- For SEAB private candidates taking science practical papers, SEAB states you should either have taken the subject before or attend a practical course and complete it before the practical paper date.
