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

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.

The answer is iii) decreasing the pressure of the system. When the pressure is decreased, the equilibrium will shift to the right because it has 12 moles of gas which is greater than the number of moles of gas on the left side, which is 6 moles. Equilibrium shifting to the side that exerts greater pressure is favored to offset the decrease in pressure.

For each trial, compute the mol of titrant; (molarity x L) and keep the number of significant figures to 4.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Trial     Number of moles

           

  1          0.001249mol

  2         0.001232mol

  3          0.001187 mol

Explanation:

To calculate the <em>number of moles of tritant</em> you need its<em> molarity</em>.

Since the<em> molarity</em> is not reported, I will use 0.1000M (four significant figures), which is used in other similar problems.

<em>Molarity</em> is the concentration of the solution in number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

In this case the solute is <em>NaOH</em>.

The formula is:

          Molarity=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}

Solve for the <em>number of moles:</em>

          \text{Number of moles}=Molarity\times Volume\text{ }in\text{ }liters

Then, using the molarity of 0.1000M and the volumes for each trial you can calculate the number of moles of tritant.

Trial    mL           liters          Number of moles

           

1          12.49       0.01249        0.01249liters × 0.1000M = 0.001249mol

2         12.32      0.01232         0.01232liters × 0.1000M = 0.001232mol

3          11.87       0.01187         0.01187liters × 0.1000M = 0.001187 mol
