Precipitating gravimetry is a technique to determine the amount of an analyte based on mass of the precipitate. If the method relies on one or more chemical reactions, then the stoichiometry of the reactions does not need to be known. True or False?
In the reaction between sodium chloride and silver nitrate, sodium ions and nitrate ions are spectator ions.
