Answer 1

The main difference is that school titrations are manual, while industrial titrations are automated.

Explanation:

Here are some of the differences.

`bbul(color(white)(mmmm)"School"color(white)(mmmmmmmmmmm)"Industrial")`
`"Done by students"color(white)(mmmmmmmll)"Done by trained technicians"`

`"Manual"color(white)(mmmmmmmmmmmml)"Automated"`
`"Uses burets, flasks, etc."color(white)(mmmmll)"Uses automated instruments"`

`"Does few titrations"color(white)(mmmmmmm)"Does many titrations"`
`"Often inaccurate and imprecise"color(white)(m)"Accurate and precise"`
`"Uses indicators for ep"color(white)(mmmmmll)"Uses voltage measurement for ep"`
`"Manual calculations"color(white)(mmmmmml)"Digital output of graphs and results"`

Here's an example of a school lab titration.

(From Fine Art America)

And here's an example of an industrial titration.

(From Copybook)

Various titrants are pumped from the reagent bottles into the stirred sample.

The sample changer automatically rotates to the next sample when a titration is finished.

The titration curve and calculation results are sent to a computer, and any desired information can be sent to a printer.

Wouldn’t you like to have one of these?
