1. Gravimetric analysis

   Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its mass. The principle of this type of analysis is that once an ion's mass has been determined as a unique compound, that known measurement can then be used to determine the same analyte's mass in a mixture, as long as the relative quantities of the other constituents are known.The four main types of this method of analysis are precipitation, volatilization, electro-analytical and miscellaneous physical method. The methods involve changing the phase of the analyte to separate it in its pure form from the original mixture and are quantitative measurements.

1. gravimetric analysis

   Gravimetric analysis is a quantitative analytical method used in chemistry to determine the amount or concentration of a substance in a sample by measuring its weight. This technique involves precipitating a substance from a solution, heating or cooling it, and then weighing the resulting solid. This weight is then used to calculate the amount of the original material present in the sample. The accuracy of gravimetric analysis is often high, and it provides important fundamental measurements in analytical chemistry.

1. Gravimetric analysis

   Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte based on the mass of a solid. A simple example is the measurement of solids suspended in a water sample: A known volume of water is filtered, and the collected solids are weighed. In most cases, the analyte must first be converted to a solid by precipitation with an appropriate reagent. The precipitate can then be collected by filtration, washed, dried to remove traces of moisture from the solution, and weighed. The amount of analyte in the original sample can then be calculated from the mass of the precipitate and its chemical composition. In other cases, it may be easier to remove the analyte by vaporization. The analyte might be collected—perhaps in a cryogenic trap or on some absorbent material such as activated carbon -- and measured directly. Or, the sample can be weighed before and after it is dried; the difference between the two masses gives the mass of analyte lost. This is especially useful in determining the water content of complex materials such as foodstuffs.
