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:

See Explanation

Explanation:

In the first case, when potassium iodide is added to an aqueous bromine solution, a chemical reaction occurs as follows;

Br2(l) + 2 KI(aq) = 2 KBr(aq) + I2(l)

This reaction produces iodine solution which is brown in colour.

Secondly, when potassium iodide is added to aqueous chlorine solution, the following reaction occurs;

2KI(aq) + Cl2(l)→ 2KCl(aq) + I2 (l)

This reaction also yields iodine solution which is brown in colour.

KI(aq) + I2(l) -------->K^+(aq) + I3^-(aq)

The  I3^-(aq) solution appears brown at high concentrations.

if the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm. then what would the pressure (in torr) be of nitrogen, oxygen and argon be in the air?
Anna007 [38]

The pressure of just nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the air is 0.78 atm, if the total atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm.

What distinguishes atmospheric pressure from air pressure?

As opposed to atmospheric pressure, which refers to the force of the earth's atmosphere, air pressure is the force of the air around us. Mercury barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure, while tore gauges are used to measure air pressure.

Why is atmospheric pressure created?

What applies pressure on the atmosphere is the mass of the air molecules above. It weighs down on whatever is underneath because of the massive quantity of air molecules that collectively make up the layers of our atmosphere. Air molecules of all sizes carry some weight.
