Reflux Condenser

A reflux condenser is a specialized piece of laboratory equipment used in chemistry to condense vapors and prevent them from escaping a reaction vessel. It consists of a vertical glass tube that is cooled to condense any vapor produced during the reaction, allowing it to flow back into the reaction vessel.

Sample sentences:

1. The reflux condenser efficiently trapped the volatile vapors produced during the distillation process.
2. Using a reflux condenser, the chemist prevented the loss of valuable reactants by ensuring all vapor was condensed and returned to the reaction flask.
