gravimetric analysis is a type of analysis that involves precipitation and weighing

gravimetric analysis is the study of weighing certain compounds, comparing, heating, precipitating, to give us the mass of a specific molecule as a result gravimetric analysis is the study of weighing certain compounds, comparing, heating, precipitating, to give us the mass of a specific molecule as a result

Precipitation is an important process in gravimetric analysis.

Solubility always has to be considered as a source of error in gravimetric analysis because what remains in solution, no matter how little, doesn't get measured (although, it can sometimes be determined indirectly). So, gravimetric results are always erroneously low due to this factor.

In analytical chemistry, gravimetric analysis is used to determine an analyte, which is based on the mass of a solid. The types of precipitation in gravimetric analysis are pure precipitation.
