Nickel Weighing by Precipitation Gravimetry

Precipitation gravimetry can be used to measure nickel by turning it into a solid that can be filtered and weighed. In this method, the analyte is converted into a sparingly soluble precipitate. The solid is then separated from the mixture and used to find the amount of nickel present.

A good pre...

In precipitation gravimetry, the analyte reacts with a precipitant to yield a precipitate that is isolated and weighed.

The precipitate should be of low solubility, high purity, known composition, and easily separable from the reaction mixture.

For example, in the estimation of nickel, the precipitant is ethanolic dimethylglyoxime,...
