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.

How is it possible to predict the type of bond that is likely to be found in a substance? what types of atoms generally form ion
Alenkasestr [34]
Using electronegativity difference is a good guide to the ionic/ covalent nature. Large differences indicate greater ionic character, small differences more covalent character. The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have. 
Ionic bonding is formed through electrostatic attraction between a cation and anion. Foe example, Sodium fluoride has ionic bonding because it is composed by sodium and Fluorine (a non metal). On the other hand, covalent bonding is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example; methane has covalent bonding; carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1; when they bond they have a total of 8 electrons and satisfies the octet rule.

Which information should be added to the chart in order find out who ran a greater distance?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Nancy and Hiyang are training for a race. They entered some of their training notes in a chart. Which information should be added to the chart in order find out who ran a greater distance?

The answer is C). the units used to measure distance each day

Explanation:

According to the question, Nancy and Hiyang are training for a race that involves them recording the distance they ran in a chart. Distance, as a quantity, is measured using different S.I units like metres, kilometers, miles, centimeters, etc.

However, in order to accurately discover whether Nancy or Hiyang ran a greater distance as recorded in their chart, the units used to measure distance each day must be included. This is because the unit of a quantity determines how big or small it is in comparison to another. For example, 20metres is not the same as 20centimetres.

If the unit they used in measuring their distance is not included, it will be impossible to tell what is being measured, talkless of who ran a greater distance
