Concept of randomness in chemistry and ambiguity in the results of chemical experiments

A general approach to the analysis of the effect of random factors on processes in physicochemical and chemical systems is proposed. A probabilistic model of a system is constructed, which is based on the principle of variability of complex systems. The simplest functions of distribution of systems with respect to the parameters of state are presented. The function of distribution of replica experiments with respect to the measurement results in the presence of uncontrollable random factors is described.
