First, it is a very accurate method and can used to measure concentrations down to the milligram level. Second, it is a relatively easy method to perform and does not require a lot of equipment.<\/p>\n<p>However, the gravimetric analysis method also has several disadvantages. First, it is a time-consuming method and can take several hours to complete. Second, it is a relatively expensive method and can be expensive to purchase the necessary equipment.
