  "term": "Gravimetric analysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A quantitative chemical analysis method that determines the amount of an analyte by precisely measuring the mass of a solid product. The analyte is converted into a stable, weighable precipitate or a volatile product whose mass difference is measured. This method requires careful control of precipitation conditions and thorough washing and drying of the precipitate.",
