Gravimetric Analysis Worksheet
Gravimetric Analysis Worksheet
can be generalized into two types; precipitation and volatilization. The quantitative
determination of a substance by the precipitation method of gravimetric analysis
involves isolation of an ion in solution by a precipitation reaction, filtering, washing
the precipitate free of contaminants, conversion of the precipitate to a product of
known composition, and finally weighing the precipitate and determining its mass by
difference. From the mass and known composition of the precipitate, the amount
of the original ion can be determined.
n (CaC2O4(s)) = mass MM
mass (Ca) = n x MM
