What is the function of a condenser in the laboratory?

Answer 1

large-scale industrial fractionation towers and distillation columns use reflux ti achieve more efficient separation of products. for instance petroleum refineries and natural gas processing plants.

Answer 2

the reflux condenser condenses any of the vapour that is created while boiling the liquids it give a more accurate result then if u just let it evaporate off!!

the reflux condenser allows vapor to cool and turn to liquid(returns to reaction vessel)

the reflux condenser maintains constant, well defined reaction temperature

the reflux condenser prevents loss of compound of liquid through evaporation

the reflux condenser controls the rate of heating

Answer 3

A condenser is generally used in distillation where it allows the vapor of the substance being distilled to "condense" and become liquid again, but in a pure form, separated from the other components of the mixture.

Answer 4

In a chemical installation (laboratory use or industrial) the role of the condenser is to aid the transformation of the gaseous phase in a liquid phase.

Answer 5

It makes the vapours condense and run back into the boiling liquid container, preventing the vapour to escape.

Answer 6

A condenser cools the gas that forms when a liquid evaporates, and condenses it so that it returns to its liquid state.
