um simple q answer this, do u want water in ur precipitate would that impact ur calcs if u did? in its essence it will affect mass and then the usual carryon error due to this, and hence wouldnt the mass u obtain be just a bit away from the theoretical mass

Well, if it's wet, then you're measuring the mass of two things - your analyte and water. It's basically equivalent to not taring your balance.
