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

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.

On melting of ice , there is a decrease in volume instead of increase . Why ?
Oliga [24]
Because of the crystal structure of the ice, ice has lower density than liquid water. So the volume of the ice of same mass is greater than water. When melting, the volume will decrease.
