Gravimetry

Gravimetry is a method used in analytical chemistry to calculate the amount of an analyte (substance to be measured) based on measurement of weight. It involves converting the analyte into a stable, measurable form, often a solid, then accurately weighing it. This technique is highly reliable because weight is an unambiguous and easily measurable quantity. It's frequently used when precise, accurate results are required, such as in quality control or wildlife monitoring.
