This is the value found from actually performing some experiment, rather than the theoretical value, which is found from reference material. This could be something like 'determine the density of water'.
- You can look up in a reference table the density of water at a given temperature - this is the theoretical value.
- Now you perform the experiment. You measure the temperature, then you get a graduated cylinder and measure the mass of the empty cylinder. Now fill the cylinder with a specific amount of distilled water. Measure the mass of the filled cylinder. Subtract empty mass to get the mass of the water. Now density equals mass/volume, so divide.
This value obtained from the experiment is the experimental value.

LaoExperimental value in chemistry refers to a measurement or result obtained through conducting scientific experiments in a controlled setting. It is used to compare with theoretical values and assess the accuracy of experimental methods and instruments in determining physical and chemical properties of substances.

What is percentage error in a chemistry experiment?
Percentage error in a chemistry experiment is a measure of the difference between the measured value and the actual value, expressed as a percentage of the actual value. It helps to determine the accuracy and precision of the experimental results. A lower percentage error indicates higher accuracy, while a higher percentage error indicates lower accuracy.
What does RTP stand for in chemistry?
RTP stands for Room Temperature and Pressure in chemistry. These are standard conditions used when describing experimental procedures and results.
Why did Paul J. Flory win The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1974?
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1974 was awarded to Paul J. Flory for his fundamental achievements, both theoretical and experimental, in the physical chemistry of the macromolecules.
What do you mean by ppt in chemistry?
In chemistry it means precipitate.
What effect on the experimental value will the use if wet or moist ice have?
The answer depends on what the experiment is.
