percentage of mass of each component in the mixture. (3)

Laboratory Report: Gravimetric Analysis

QUESTIONS:
1. Gravimetric analysis is the technique that uses the measurement of mass to determine an
analyte.
2. Precipitation is when an analyte is turned into a precipitate analyte when separated from a
solution of the sample
3. Volatilization is when an analyte is separated from a solution of the sample after being
turned into a vapor phase after volatilizing at a certain temperature.

ACTIVITIES:

1.

- Dry and weigh the sample (1)

- Dissolve the sample (2)
- Add the precipitating reagent in excess (3)
- Coagulate the precipitate often by heating (4)
- Filtration and separate precipitate (5)
- Wash the precipitate (6)
- Dry and weigh to constant weight (7)
