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.

I2 is produced by the reaction of 0.4235 mol of CuCl2 according to the following equation: 2CuCl2+4KI⟶2CuI+4KCl+I2. What volume
sveta [45]

Answer: 4.7432 L

Explanation:

Use stoichiometry: .4235 mol CuCl2 (1 mol I2 / 2 mol CuCl2)(22.4 L / 1 mol I2) = 4.7432 L :)

What is the best description for a solution with a hydroxide-ion concentration equal to 1 x 10-4 m?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

This is a basic solution

Explanation:

To be able to provide a succint description of this solution, from the given parameters we can deduce the pH of the solution.

Given parameters:

Concentration of OH⁻ = 1 x 10⁻⁴M

Solution

          We knonw that pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

                   pOH = -log₁₀ 0.0001 = - (-4) = 4

For an aqeous solution:

                  pH + pOH = 14

                  pH = 14 - 4 = 10

The pH of the solution has been derieved to be 10

This is a basic solution

What boundaries of time zones correspond?
jeyben [28]
The boundaries of time zones correspond<span> roughly to lines of longitude

</span>This is why:
<span>The time in each successive time zone is one hour different from the times in neighboring time zones. To establish time zones, Earth's rotation rate of 360 degrees of longitude per day was divided by 24 hours. The result shows that Earth turns 15 degrees of longitude per hour.

Hopefully I helped ^.^ Mark Brainly if possible~

Sort the following analytical techniques as either classical methods or instrumental methods.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Instrumental methods

surface analysis

high performance liquid chromatography

atomic spectroscopy

potentiometry

Classical methods

precipitation titration

gravimetric analysis

Explanation:

Instrumental methods of analysis are those analytical methods in which the responsibility of detection has been removed from human beings and placed on automated instruments while classical methods are those analytical methods in which the responsibility of detection remains the responsibility of human beings.

Many instrumental methods such as HPLC rely on computer screens as readout devices.
