Air condenser can be used when the boiling point of the solvent is very high, as the air temperature will to sufficient to condense the solvent vapour. Water condenser is generally used when the solvent boiling temperature is less e.g., water, ethanol etc.

What is needed to change a vapour back to liquid?

A condenser. In the Chemistry Lab a condenser consists of a tube which is supplied with cold water. This tube surrounds another tube running through it which has the vapour passing through it. The vapour condenses into a receiver.


Why it is necessary to filter off the anhydrous magnesium sulfate before distillation?

Drying with magnesium sulfate leaves very tiny residues in your flask which need to be filtered off as decanting won't get rid of them. Leaving these tiny residues in the flask while running a distillation can cause the solvent to "bump"; in other words to violently erupt and run into your condenser, thus rendering your distillation ineffective.

What branch of chemistry deals only with chemical combinations of elements other than carbon?

This, technically, is a trick question. A mostly true, useful answer, but not entirely accurate one is to say, that "Organic chemistry is the study of Carbon compounds. Inorganic Chemistry, is the study of everything else." Here's the problem. Organic Chemistry is a highly dense complex study of all the strange and wonderful properties of carbon that lead it to be the building block of life, and it's end results. Carbon lives a double life, however, and isn't exclusively defined by it's organic strangeness. For example, one of the sub-branches of inorganic chemistry is industrial chemistry. You study that, and discover that carbon is still there, and still doing strange things. Just those strange things (look at diamonds, nano tubes and properties of graphite) are more typical of other elements on the periodic table. So this is Clark Kent carbon, and Organic Chemistry is about Super Man carbon. They are the same thing but operate in different ways. It is true that Organic Chemistry is almost all about carbon, but that doesn't preclude carbon taking various other roles in other branches of chemistry. Why? Because carbon is so common. It can't beat out Hydrogen, naturally, but it is running neck and neck with Nitrogen, which is still insanely common. You can't really do chemistry in the real world for very long without tripping over carbon in some form or compound. I suppose there may be some branch of theoretical Chemistry that attempts to extrapolate properties of a universe without Carbon, but... that's pretty out there. You are unlikely to run into it outside of a sheltered university environment.


Is the world running out of zinc and copper?

Yes copper consumption is unsustainable, it is running out.

How do you clean air conditioner condenser on a ford f250?

The inside of the air conditioner condenser can be cleaned by removing the hoses and running water through the condenser. Run water through the condenser until the water exiting the condenser is clear.

Why s water circulated in the condenser?

Condensation of gas will reject out heat, running cold water through condenser absorbing heat and help the condensation process.

What could be wrong if your central air conditioner blows hot air and the fan on the condenser is not running?

number of things. you could have a bad condenser fan motor. bad contactor or a bad run cap for the condenser fan motor.


What is the purpose of running water or ice cubes during distillation?

They speed up the process of condensation.


Distillation and Filtration which is cheaper?

Expect simple filtration by gravity to use less energy than distillation (where you have to take the material to its gaseous state) so it will be cheaper, but if you're considering reverse osmosis (a hi-tech form of filtering) against solar-powered distillation (in a solar still), the running costs of R-O are large, the running costs of a solar still are small.

What is the use of condenser in science lab?

In a laboratory a condenser is a piece of laboratory glassware used to cool hot vapors or liquids. [1] A condenser usually consists of a large glass tube containing a smaller glass tube running its entire length, within which the hot fluids pass.
