What is gravimetric analysis ?

Gravimetric analysis is a quantitative analytical method used to determine the amount of a substance present in a sample by measuring its mass. It involves the separation and weighing of a specific component of interest from a sample, typically through precipitation or volatilization. The mass of the isolated component is then used to calculate its concentration or purity in the original sample. Gravimetric analysis is commonly used in chemistry and environmental science for the determination of various elements, ions, and compounds.
