La gravimétrie consiste à engager la substance à doser sous forme d'un précipité insoluble dans le milieu où il prend naissance. Après un temps convenable, on sépare par décantation, filtration ou centrifugation ce dépôt du liquide; on le lave, le sèche, le pèse. Connaissant la formule du corps pesé [...] on déduit le poids de matière analysée. 3, record 3, French, - analyse%20gravim%C3%A9trique
