∙ 9y agoFluted filter paper has an increase of the filter area. It also creates gaps between the filter paper and the funnel in which it is resting. The gaps provide channels for the solvent to flow through after it passes through the filter paper.

How the fluted filter paper increased the rate of filtration?
Rate of filtration can be increased by using fluted filter paper.rate of filtration is related to surface area of the filter medium.In case of fluted filter paper surface area is increased ,as by folding the paper in such a way,the larger area of filter paper can be confined in the same funnel.so rate of filtration increases.
Why is fluted filter paper used in filtration process?
There are two primary advantages to fluted filter paper. One is the increase in filter area. The second, and probably the more effective of the two, is the fluting creates gaps between the filter paper and the funnel in which it is resting. These gaps provide channels for the solvent to flow through after it passes through the filter paper, thus greatly increasing the speed of solvent flow through the paper. This effect is most noticeable with the finer filter papers.
Differences between ordinary paper and filter paper?
Filter paper is more dense than usual paper so it can be used to trap particles in a filter. Tracing paper is thin and seethrough so it is easier to see what you are tracing.

What is the advantage of using fluted filter paper?
Fltuted Filter paper is essentially when you fold a sheet of filter paper in a certain way as to maximise it's surface area. More surface area means more effective filtration http://www.chem.ubc.ca/courseware/235/danalabsess/flutedfilterpaper.html
Why is a fluted filter paper used in gravity filtration?
By fluting the filter paper we can maximize the rate at which the solvent may flow through the filter paper. This will increase the surface area of the air flown into the flask along the sides to permit rapid pressure equalization.

Can sand go through filter paper?
Oil can pass through filter paper. Also bear in mind that there are different grades of filter paper. I personally have filtered oil very successfully, using an ordinary paper towel as my filter paper.
Why are stemless funnels used instead of long stem funnels to filter hot solutions through fluted filter paper?
In hot gravity filtration situations, a stemless funnel is used to prevent premature recrystallization.

Why the filter paper with the precipitatre is collected in a jar instead of thrown into the trash can?

What can be used instead of a home deep fryer filter?
coffee filters or paper towels
Why the filter paper is collected in a jar instead of thrown into the trash can?
Each hood contains a white, rectangular plastic box labeled "wet filter papers". This tray is only for wet filter papers-when the solvent evaporates from the paper, the paper is thrown in the trash. Do not put any chemical in the white box.
What is the color of filter paper?
Filter paper is white.
Why is diffusion fast on filter paper?
Filter paper is very smooth and is recycled paper.
