Question

Why do we do titration of acids with perchloric acid?

Answer 1

Nonaqueous titration is the titration of substances dissolved in solvents other than water. It is the most common titrimetric procedure used in pharmacopoeial assays and serves a double purpose: it is suitable for the titration of very weak acids and very weak ,base and it provides a solvent in which organic compounds are soluble.

Answer 2

Why do we do titration of acids with perchloric acid?

Answer:

Since the CH3COOH2+ ion readily donates its proton to a base, a solution of perchloric acid in glacial acetic acid functions as a strongly acidic solution. When a weak base, such as pyridine, is dissolved in acetic acid, the acetic acid exerts its levelling effect and enhances the basic properties of the pyridine.
