Interpretation:
The reason for the effectiveness of the Hirsch funnel over Buchner funnel for small scale vacuum filtration should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Filtration is a physical process that is used to separate solid matter from a liquid by the addition of a filter medium through which only the liquid can pass. Vacuum filtration is one of the types of filtration technique that is used for rapid and complete separation of solids from a liquid.
Explanation of Solution
Vacuum filtration technique can be done by the use of funnels with flat, perforated and porous surfaces that holds the filter paper. Hirsch and Buchner's funnel are used for vacuum filtration.
The Hirsch funnel is smaller than the Buchner funnel and has a smaller surface area of the plate that holds the filter paper. The loss of the product is less in the Hirsch funnel. Therefore, Hirsch funnel is more effective than the Buchner funnel in micro-scale vacuum filtration to obtain the separated component with any loss.

- Tooling for a vacuum deposition system is cleaned and reassembled. Unfortunately, a drop of water 0.125 cm3 in volume is left in the bottom of a screw hole. Due to the obstructed path to the pump, a negligible amount of water escapes during the early stages of pumpdown, and the drop becomes a virtual leak at a chamber pressure of 4.3E-06 torr. Find the volume of gas formed by the water at this pressure (assume it stays at room temperature). The density of water is 1g cm-3 and the molecular weight 18 g mole-1. (First, determine the number of moles in the drop of water, and use the ideal gas law to determine the volume)(b) To make this result clearer, what is the added time (in hours) to pump out this chamber due to this droplet if the pump, at that pressure, has a rate of 1480 L/s?arrow_forwardWhat is the value of [S] with v = 0.5Vmax?arrow_forward+ Br2 + ऊष्मा पराबैंगनी प्रकाश तथा आयोज V15Pro IDEAl Triple Cameraarrow_forward
