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.

What is emitted when an electron returns to its lower energy level?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.

You have to use everything that is given since you have to know which is the limiting reactant. We find the limiting reactant by calculating the number of moles of each reactant and compare the number of moles. The limiting reactant would be the one that is consumed fully by the reaction.
