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

Chemistry

lesantik [10]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Answer: (C) Statements (i) and (iii)

Explanation: According to byjus.com, group VII elements are known as Halogens.

Not only that, but bbc.co.uk says " Atoms of group 7 elements all have seven electrons in their outer shell. This means that the halogens all have similar chemical reactions ."

It may just be (b) though as these are chemical reactions.

elena-s [515]

The large piece of jewelry  that has a mass of 132.6 g and when is submerged in a graduated cylinder that initially contains 48.6 ml water and the volume increases to 61.2 ml once the piece of jewelry is submerged, has a density of: 10.523 g/ml

To solve this problem the formulas and the procedures that we have to use  are:

  • v = v(f)-v(i)
  • d = m/v

Where:

  • d= density
  • m= mass
  • v= volume
  • v(f) = final volume
  • v(i) = initial volume

Information about the problem:

  • m = 132.6 g
  • v(i) = 48.6 ml
  • v(f) = 61.2 ml
  • v = ?
  • d =?

Applying the volume formula we get:

v = v(f)-v(i)

v = 61.2 ml - 48.6 ml

v = 12.6 ml

Applying the density  formula we get:

d = m/v

d = 132.6 g/12.6 ml

d = 10.523 g/ml

<h3>What is density?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that expresses the ratio of the body mass to the volume it occupies.
