In a reflux setup, solvent vapors are trapped by the condenser, and the concentration of reactants remains constant throughout the process. The main purpose of refluxing a solution is to heat a …

Plan where you will assemble the apparatus. You will need two clamps, one above the other, so they can both be mounted on a single clamp stand. The apparatus needs to be close to a …

Oct 25, 2005 · The pictures below show how to secure -inch tubes into the inlet and outlet of the condenser. After fitting the tubes into the condenser (a), the joints are further secured with …

A condenser is attached to the boiling flask (a round bottom flask) and is clamped in an upright position, the "reflux position", and cooling water is circulated to cause the vapours to condense …

This instruction set is intended to help students who are going to perform Fischer Esterification reaction using reflux technique in organic chemistry lab. Normally, the whole process including …

When setting up the condenser it is very important that you have the water flow in the correct direction. When adding a heat source to the reflux set up, an oil bath may be used instead of …

This is a very common and important equipment of testing laboratory. This video represents the details about the setup, function, operation and laboratory application of a Reflux Condenser.

Set up the reaction in a water bath (or sand bath) on a hot/stir plate. Since you will be heating up the reaction, you will need to attach a reflux condenser to the reaction flask so that no solvent …

Never place a glass stopper in the top of a condenser during a reflux. This could cause a dangerous build up of pressure in the system. Water comes out of the top of the condenser …
