Abstract
This article describes the statistical comparison of two back-titration methods for the determination of glycine in a glacial HAc medium. The titration is carried out using perchloric acid. The glycine quantities obtained were determined by several groups of students on the same day (three groups a day, on average; a total of 32 groups during the academic year) and were compared by two-way ANOVA with the Statgraphics Plus 3.0 computer program. The laboratory exercise discussed in this article is recommended for fourth-year undergraduates.
Supplement
Instructions for the students, notes for the instructor, theoretical background material, and gylcine results obtained for all 32 groups are available.
