Here’s a explanation:
Gravimetric analysis is a method in chemistry where we find out how much of a substance is in a sample by turning it into a solid that can be weighed.
Steps in simple terms:
- Make a solid – The substance reacts with another chemical to form a solid that doesn’t dissolve in water.
- Separate it – The solid is separated from the liquid.
- Clean it – The solid is washed to remove impurities.
- Dry it – The solid is dried or heated to remove any water.
- Weigh it – The solid is weighed carefully.
- Calculate – From the weight of the solid, we figure out how much of the original substance was in the sample.
Key point: Gravimetric analysis is very accurate because it relies on measuring weight, which can be done very precisely.
