During an experiment, your 'control' group is an unaltered, unchanged sample. For example, when reacting a metal with an acid, you may not react a sample of the metal as your control.
The reason for this is to provide a basis of comparison for your experiment. In other words, it lets you easily compare what happened after the reaction to what the sample was like before. In the earlier example, having a control of the reactant (metal) will allow you to understand the effect the acid had on the metal during and after the reaction.
This also applies to all experiments, not just chemical ones.
Basically it's a frame of reference to show that what happened probably didn't just happen by chance.

What is the role of a control group in any experiment?
To compare data
What is the role of the control group in an experiment?
To establish a baseline to compare your results to.
What is a control group in a science experiment?
A control group is the unaffected group in a science experiment.
Why is is it important that an experiment include a control group?
a control group assures that an experiment will be repeatable
In an experiment a group that receives no treatment is called what?
The group that receives no treatment in an experiment is called the control group. This group is used as a point of comparison to evaluate the effects of the treatment applied to the experimental group.
What is a control or control group?
the group that does not change in the experiment VIVI :)
The group that does not receive the experimental treatment in an experiment is the?
control group
What is the difference between a control group and a control?
A test group is the group in an experiment to which the change is being applied and the control group is the same type of group in an experiment to which nothing is done to compare the changes in the test group to.
What does a control group have to do with the independent variable?
the answer to that question is the control group has nothing to do with the independent variable because a control group is some thing in your experiment that has not changed through out your experiment. And a independent variable is some thing in your experiment that you change through your experiment(s)
What is the comparison group in a controlled experiment?
control group
What is the control group in a basketball shooting percentage experiment?

What is a role in a control group in any experiment?
it acts as a source. a dependent variable that isn't altered by any independent variables.
