Gravimetric Analysis

Year 11

​What we will cover

• What is gravimetric analysis

• Common questions ​

​Gravimetric analysis

• determining the quantitative composition of a mixture

  • in mass or percentages

• gravimetric analysis is the physical procedure for determining this

• often used in industry to determine purity and viability of use

• used in conjunction with separation techniques, as we need to determine the masses of each of the components of the mixture ​

​Example question:

1. Determine the total mass of recovered components

2. Calculate the percentage of the total sample of each component

​Another example:

​Next up

• trends on the PT

• isotopes

• energy levels and atomic structure ​
