Question

what should be the properties of precipitate in gravimetric estimation? ​

Answer 1

In an ideal world, an analytical precipitate for gravimetric analysis should consist of perfect crystals large enough to be easily washed and filtered. The perfect crystal would be free from impurities and be large enough so that it presented a minimum surface area onto which foreign ions could be adsorbed.

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

Precipitates are insoluble ionic solid products of a reaction, formed when certain cations and anions combine in an aqueous solution.  The solids produced in precipitate reactions are crystalline solids, and can be suspended throughout the liquid or fall to the bottom of the solution.

All precipitation gravimetric analyses share two important attributes. First, the precipitate must be of low solubility, of high purity, and of known composition if its mass is to reflect accurately the analyte's mass. Second, it must be easy to separate the precipitate from the reaction mixture.
