Question

in reflux, what might be the advantage of using a water-cooled condenser rather than an air-cooled condenser?

a)The efficiency of an air-cooled condenser is greater than that of a water-cooled condenser which means that too much escaping vapor is returned to the solution below.

b)In a water-cooled condenser, water reacts with the vapors in the condenser and returns them to the solution below.

c)Water-cooled condensers remove excess water from the escaping vapor, air-cooled condensers are incapable of doing this.

d)A water-­cooled condenser is more efficient and returns more of the vapor to the solution below.

Explanation / Answer

d) A water-­cooled condenser is more efficient and returns more of the vapor to the solution below.
