Gravimetric analysis:
It is the technique of finding the mass of an analyte or chemical compounds that are inter-related chemically. This is the classical method of analysis that provides measurement with reliability and precision. This analysis serves as the most authentic measuring techniques.
There are many ways to find the weight of analyte mentioned below some are of them: Precipitation gravimetry. Electro gravimetry. Volatilization gravimetry. Thermo gravimetry.
Precipitation Gravimetry: In this method, the analyte is transformed to a slightly soluble precipitate. These precipitate can be separated by filtration, then washed to remove water dissolved impurities and finally converted to a product of known composition by heating …show more content…

Particle growth: depends upon high relative super saturation.
Co-precipitation:
The process in which the soluble compounds are separated from solution by precipitation. Types of co-precipitation: Surface adsorption, Mixed-crystal formation, Occlusion, and Mechanical entrapment.
Surface adsorption:
Here normally soluble compound is removed out on the surface of a coagulated colloid containing primarily adsorbed ion and an ion of opposite charge from the counter-ion layer.
Mixed-crystal formation:
It is a type of co-precipitation in which a contaminant ion replaces an ion in the lattice of a crystal.
Occlusion:
It is a type of co-precipitation where compound is stuckked within spaces formed during rapid crystal growth.
Mechanical entrapment:
It happens when crystals lie close near during their growth. Several crystals grow together and in so doing trap a portion of the solution in a tiny spaces.
Solubility products:
Every substance has the ability to become soluble therefore these compounds are known as sparingly soluble substances. Since the precipitates formed have constant concentrations therefore the solubility product depends only on the product of concentration of
