Reactions above Room Temperature Using a Condenser

Reactions Above Room Temperature Using A Condenser 

Invariably, for reactions at an elevated temperature or above room temperature it is very important and absolutely necessary to use an open-system that does not ultimately lead to a build-up of pressure inside the reaction vessel. 

A good number of altogether different designs (shapes) of condenser are available that are meant to be used for a specific purpose and also the nature of reaction involved. These condensers are of FOUR different types, namely  

Advantage. It has an edge over the Liebig condenser since it can specifically used in humid locations, as there exists much less possibility as well as tendency for the atmospheric moisture to get condensed on the outside of the condenser and subsequently, run down over the prevailing reaction vessel. 

Advantage. It is always preferred when dealing with low-boiling organic solvents (having bp 40°C) e.g., solvent, ether.
