Cleaning Raw Titration Data
When you collect titration data in the lab, the results are not always perfect. Common issues include outliers — values that are much higher or lower than expected — and missing or incomplete measurements. These problems can occur due to instrument errors, misreading the burette, or recording mistakes. If you do not address these issues, your calculations and conclusions could be inaccurate. Recognizing and cleaning up raw titration data is a crucial first step in any chemical data analysis.

In this example, you can see the volume 42.3 stands out from the others. This value is likely an outlier, possibly caused by a measurement error or a recording mistake. To ensure your data is reliable, you need simple techniques to identify and remove such outliers. One common method is thresholding, where you define a realistic range for your data based on your experiment's expected results. Any value outside this range is removed or flagged for further investigation.

Cleaning your titration data before analysis is essential. If you include outliers or errors in your calculations, you might get incorrect averages or misleading results. By ensuring your data is accurate and consistent, your conclusions about chemical concentrations or reaction outcomes will be much more reliable. Taking time to clean data is a best practice in all areas of chemistry.
