How do you calculate/find the experimental value of a laboratory experiment? I need the formula or steps to find the experimental value (experimental molarity)

Expert Solution
Step 1

The experimental values in any laboratory experiment can be found only when the experiment is done and data of each and every work performed is collected. Without experimental data, whatever calculations are done , are considered as theoretical calculations.

For example:

When two compounds A and B are mixed together and heated at certain temperature like T⁰C, the mass or mixture can only be calculated when mass of A and B is recorded before mixing.

The best way to do calculation of experimental values are:

(1) Calculate each and every data in a chart paper.

(2) Identify the required data for particular value.

[For example, if molarity is to be found, the data required to find molarity needs to be identified]

(3) Set up theoretically proved equation for the value.

(4) Feed the data in the equation and calculate final result.
