gravimetric analysis

Question

In gravimetric estimation of chloride, the precipitate formed is:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

**Gravimetric Analysis** relies on the measurement of mass.
- For estimating **Chloride** ions, **Silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$)** is added to the sample.
- **Precipitate**: **Silver Chloride ($AgCl$)**, which is a white, curdy solid.
$Ag^+ + Cl^- 	o AgCl \downarrow$
- The precipitate is filtered, washed to remove impurities, dried, and weighed. Knowing the mass of $AgCl$ allows for the stoichiometric calculation of the amount of chloride present in the original sample.
