Explain why it is important that there be no gaps around the edges of the filter paper during a vacuum filtration

Chemistry

Vacuum filtration is more efficient and faster than filtration by the gravity method. But the set up of the vacuum filtration must be precise. Vacuum filtration is done under very reduced pressure hence there should be no gaps around the edges of the filter paper.   For a vacuum to be effective there must be no hole or gap in the equipment. Under vacuum conditions air is removed and the pressure is lowered. If there is gap then air would be continuously supplied and it would be difficult to remove air completely.

What is the chemical structure of coal?<br>What is the molecular weight of coal? ​
nydimaria [60]

1) As for its chemical composition, coal is a mixture of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as benzene C6H6, toluene C6H5CH3, xylene C6H4(CH3)2, naphthalene C10H8, anthracene C14H10, pyrene C16H10 and their derivatives with high mass fraction of carbon, as well as of water and volatile substances.

2) The coal asphaltenes have a relatively narrow MWD (full width ≈ 150 amu) with an average molecular weight of ≈340 amu. The petroleum asphaltenes display a broader MWD (full width ≈ 300 amu) and are heavier on average (≈680 amu).
