Question:

Why is it necessary to heat the filter paper in the oven?

I am doing a chemistry lab on the synthesis of aluminum and I am not sure why we need to heat the filter paper that we will be using for gravity filtration in the oven.Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Answer:

im guessing that you weigh it after letting it coolRight? Its to cook or evaporate off the excess water that was used in filtrationThat shouldn't be part of your weight, so thats why it i vitally important to heat the paper If you don't heat it long enough, you will have a percent yield over 100% because you didn't evaporate all the water.
Initially the product was given a 2 year validity period using transparent pdvc blister and aluminium foil containersThe commitment was to analyse the product for stability using the first three commercial batches in every three month period during the first yearTesting was done in normal storage conditions in Mexico I hope the facts are correctI've tried to simplify the statement and to break it into shorter sentences
