Lab Report Vacuum Filtration
« on: October 13, 2014, 03:29:23 PM »
In the experimental section of a lab report, is it okay to simply write 'concentrated in vacuo' to describe vacuum filtration ?

That doesn't seem to be the correct term to me.  You don't really concentrate a solid that's suspended in a liquid.  Its already as concentrate as its going to get.  I can't see why you simply don't say, "vacuum filtered"

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
