Vacuum filtration is used instead of gravity filtration in order to achieve a dryer product in less time. The faster process of vacuum filtration allows the slurry to remain cold and in cases such as with benzoic acid more crytals will remain formed at colder temperatures. Gravity filtration is most useful when the solid is to be discarded and the filtrate (the liquid that flows through the filter paper) kept. Vacuum filtration is often faster than gravity filtration and is most useful if the solid must be kept or if a filtration must be done rapidly. A vacuum from an aspirator or a vacuum pump is used to pull the liquid through a funnel containing a piece of filter paper, while the solid is left on the paper.

Why Suction filtration is better than gravity filtration?

Suction filtration is typically faster and more efficient than gravity filtration because it uses a vacuum to pull the liquid through the filter paper or membrane, resulting in quicker filtration. Additionally, suction filtration is often more effective at removing smaller particles due to the enhanced force applied to the filtration process.

Is vacuum has a zero gravity?

Vacuum itself does not have gravity. In a vacuum, there is an absence of matter and gas particles, so there is no medium for gravity to act upon. Objects in a vacuum are subject to the gravitational pull of nearby massive bodies like planets or stars.


How much faster will a bullet fly in a vacuum than in atmosphere?

In a vacuum a projectile will maintain its launch speed (muzzle velocity) until gravity pulls it to earth or it strikes something in its path. In absence of gravity it will maintain straight-line flight and velocity until it strikes something. Atmosphere creates drag which slows bullets dramatically.
