Preferred Label : gravimetric method;
IUPAC definition : A determination by weight; e.g. in the older method of Cl sup class minus /sup
ion determination, a weighed amount of sample is dissolved in water, AgNO sub 3 /sub
solution added, AgCl is precipitated, dried and weighed. From the known mass fraction
of silver in AgCl, the weights of the initial sample and that of the AgCl precipitated,
the percentage of chlorine in the sample can be calculated readily.;
