How did van 't Hoff use experimentation in his work?
Empirical observation and rigorous experimentation were central to my scientific method. I believed that abstract chemical theories must be grounded in and validated by precise, quantitative measurements. My investigations into reaction rates and osmotic phenomena relied heavily on careful experimental design and data analysis. This empirical foundation allowed me to formulate the mathematical laws that govern these chemical processes.
