Gravimetric Analysis

Gravimetric analysis is a method in analytical chemistry used to determine the quantity of a substance by measuring its mass. In this process, a sample is chemically transformed to form a solid that can be easily weighed, such as a precipitate. By accurately measuring this solid’s mass, chemists can calculate the amount of the original substance in the sample. This technique is highly precise and reliable, often used for analyzing metals, ions, or compounds in various materials, ensuring accurate chemical composition assessments.
