due to its high degree of accuracy, when performed correctly, can also
be used to calibrate other instruments in lieu of reference standards.
Disadvantages
Gravimetric analysis usually only provides for the analysis of a single
element, or a limited group of elements, at a time. Comparing modern
dynamic flash combustion coupled with gas chromatography with
traditional combustion analysis will show that the former is both faster
and allows for simultaneous determination of multiple elements while
traditional determination allowed only for the determination of carbon and
hydrogen. Methods are often convoluted and a slight mis-step in a
procedure can often mean disaster for the analysis (colloid formation in
precipitation gravimetry, for example). Compare this with hardy methods
such as spectrophotometry and one will find that analysis by these
methods is much more efficient.
MATERIALS:
PROCEDURE:

Add 4 ml 6 M HCL
This solution was heated until boiling.
And 100 ml of BaCI2.2H2O was heated until boiling an other
beaker.
Then BaCI2.2H2O was added quickly into hot sample.
Solution was waited and cooled. Until the top of solution became
clean.
After that solution was decanted.
Solution was filtered and washed with hot water three times.
Filteted solution was tested with AgNO3 solution. If color does not
change.solution was waited one week to dry.
One week later, filter paper and solid substance were put in
porcelain crucible. and they were chared off about one hour in
bunsen burner.
Then porcelain crucible was transfered at oven and ignated at 800
0
C.
finally,we had only solid (Ba2SO4 (s) ) and weighted.
Results were recorded.

procedures are usually very accurate, but more tedious than other
methods. The only major equipment needed for gravimetric analysis
is an accurate balance.

be taken in this process to avoid flaming and to prevent conversion of
BaSO4 to BaS, a yellow precipitate of lower mass than BaSO4 . The
final ignition removes the carbon residue and any volatile impurities
carried down with the barium sulfate precipitate. Ignition is continued
until the mass of the crucible plus precipitate is constant.
