In gravimetric analysis, the determination of the mass of an analyte is based on:
The volume of the analyte
The color change of the analyte
The reaction of the analyte with a reagent
The mass of a product formed from the analyte
Gravimetric analysis is a quantitative method of chemical analysis that relies on measuring the mass of a substance to determine its composition or purity. In gravimetric analysis, the determination of the mass of an analyte is based on the mass of a product that is formed from the analyte through a chemical reaction. This product is then isolated and weighed to determine the amount of analyte present. This method is particularly useful for analyzing substances that are difficult to detect using other analytical techniques.
