What is a "condenser"?
A condenser is a laboratory device used to cool and condense vapors back into liquid form. It typically consists of a tube through which vapor passes, surrounded by a layer of cold water that cools the vapor as it moves through. The cooled vapor then turns back into liquid and can be collected in a separate container. Condensers are commonly used in distillation processes, where heat is applied to a liquid to separate its components, and in other experiments that involve heating and cooling substances. The cold water helps ensure the vapor does not escape.
Example
The laboratory setup featured a condenser to collect purified solvent from the distillation process.
The distillation setup included a condenser to collect liquid from the vapor.
The distiller attached a condenser to the pot still to separate alcohol vapor from the mash.
