Why Whatman filter paper is used in gravimetric analysis?

Whatman qualitative filter papers are basically cellulose filters that are used to determine and identify materials in qualitative analytical techniques. There are pre-pleated qualitative filters available that provide improved flow rate and increases the loading capacity.

Can we use ordinary paper instead of filter paper?

Sure you can filter fluids with ordinary paper if you have no specific objective in either particle retention or passage. Ordinary paper has no predictable filtering properties. Furthermore usually you would wish to control what contaminants might be transferred from paper into your fluid.
