Different reactions require different solvents. Sometimes the polarity of H2O can hinder the progression of the reaction by H-bonding to the reactants. Also, sometimes a reaction requires a stronger or weaker solvent to insure that you have your reactants reacting and not a reactant with the solvent.

What is non aqueous titration?
Nonaqueous titration is the titration of substances dissolved in nonaqueous solvents. 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 bases, and it provides a solvent.
What is the difference between aqueous and non aqueous titration?
Aqueous titration: the ion to be titrated is in an aqueous solution Nonaqueous titration: the ion to be titrated is in an nonaqueous solution
Which health and safety regulation covers the use and storage of solvents?
In the United Stated, several regulations address aspects of the use and storage of solvents. Other countries, and some US states, have their own, different regulations. US OSHA regulations dealing with solvents include the Hazard Communication Standard, standards related to selection and use of Personal Protective Equipment, Permissible Exposure Limits (different for different solvents), Records access regulations, and Ventilation. For some solvents there are specific standards that call for medical monitoring and other actions. For flammable solvents, fire safety regulations apply to use and storage. For large quantities of cetain solvents, the Chemical Process Management standard may apply. For some environmentallly active solvents, EPA also has applicable regulations.
What solvents are non-conductive?
Non-ionic solvents, as organic solvents.

ethyl alcohol,ethyl acetate,diethyl ether,chloroform and hexane.
