What is electrogravimetry?

Here’s a explanation of electrogravimetry:

Electrogravimetry is a method used to find out how much of a metal is in a solution. It works by depositing the metal onto an electrode using electricity.

How it works:

1. A clean, weighed electrode is put into the solution containing the metal.
2. Electricity is passed through the solution, which makes the metal stick to the electrode.
3. The electrode is removed, washed, dried, and weighed again.
4. The increase in weight tells you how much metal was in the solution.

Uses:

• Measuring metals like silver, copper, or gold.
• Checking metal content in industrial processes.
• Detecting very small amounts of metals in solutions.

It’s basically measuring metals by plating them with electricity and weighing them.
