What is Experimental Design and How is it Used in Identifying Pure Substances?

AI Thread Summary
Experimental design refers to the systematic approach used to plan and conduct experiments, including the selection and arrangement of equipment and processes to gather data. It involves creating a clear diagram and detailed explanation of the experimental setup and procedures to identify pure substances based on their properties. The goal is to make accurate measurements and observations to understand specific phenomena. This process is crucial for ensuring reliable and valid results in scientific investigations. A well-documented experimental design enhances the clarity and reproducibility of the study.

I am doing a Lab report on "Using Properties To Identify Pure Substances"
I want to know what does the Experimental design mean. Can anyone tell
me what it means?


Thanks,

Thanks,

It would be the apparatus used and how it's set up.
 
you mean like I have to draw a diagram and explain how the experiment was done?

thanks

Yes I think so.Enjoy it.
 
How a person chooses equipment and arrange it and to initiate and perform processes for the purpose of obtaining information. Someone may have a more efficient definition of Experimental Design.

Don't let the sophisticated terminology distract you. It is how you choose to achieve your objective of making measurements and observations to help you study and understand a small piece of nature or a process.
 
Ok so I am going to make a picture of our experiment and explain what's in the
picture. Or should I say like how I did it. I was thinking If I write how I did the
experiment then that will become the procedure.
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
