Gravimetry in which the material to be weighed is obtained by electrochemical reaction.
Notes: - The electrolysis can be performed by controlling current or electrode potential or, in the simple two-electrode arrangement, controlling the potential difference between the two electrodes.
- When the precipitate has a known stoichiometric composition, electrogravimetry is a primary reference measurement procedure not requiring calibration with a standard for a quantity of the same kind (i.e. amount of substance).
