The precipitate is allowed to settle and washed by decantation withstrong alcohol, collected on a tared filter paper, or, better, in a Gooch crucible,and dried to constant weight. The increase in weight gives gums and ash ;the weight of ash is determined, and being deducted from the weight of gumand ash gives the weight of gum.
