Th remains at the boiling point of the solvent (or solution) during active reflux. Preview Page of 6 ZOOM ---- Figure 1.5: Reflux apparatus Ad reflux apparatus allows for facile heating of a solution, but without the loss of solvent that would result from heating in an open vessel. In a reflux setup, solvent vapors are trapped by the condenser and the concentration of reactants remains constant throughout the process The main purpose of refluxing a solution is to hwat a solutions in a controlled munner at a constant temperature. For example, magine that you want to hear a solution to or for one tour in order to conduct a chemical reaction. It would be difficult to maintain = warm water bath at without special equipment, and it would require regular monitoring.

Add a stir bar or few boiling stones for bump prevention Boiling stones should not be used when refluxing concentrated solutions of sulfuric or phosphoric acid, as they will colorize the solution. For example, when a stir bar is used for bump prevention with concentrated sulfuric acid the solution remains colorless (Figure 1.59b) When the same reaction is conducted using a boiling stone, the solution durken during heating gure 1.59c) and eventually tums the entire solution a deep purple brown color (figure 59).

Place rubber hoses on a condenser (wet the ends first to allow them to slide on), then attach the condenser vertically to the round bottomed flask. If using a tall condenser, clamp the condenser to the ring stand or latticework (Figure 1.60). Be sure the condenser fits snugly into the flask. Safety note: if the pieces are not properly connected and flammable vapors escape, they may be ignited by the heat source. Do not connect the round bottomed Nask and condenser with a plastic dip, as shown in Figure 1.60e. Plastic clips can sometimes fail (especially when they are heated), and this setup does not allow for the flask to be reliably removed from the heat source at the end of the reflux. A Connect the hose on the lower arm of the condenser to the water faucet and allow the base on the upper arm to drain to the sink (Figure 1.60b). It is important that water goes in the bottom of the condenser and out the top (se water flows against kruvity) or else the condenser will be ineffective as it will not fill completely. . liteit 3 C ---- ZOOM + LibreTexts CHEMISTRY Flane 1.61: Reactions using reflex multiple solutions will be refluxed at the same time if many students are performing a reflux side by side), the hoses frontuch reflux setup can be connected in series (Figure 1.62) To accomplish this, the upper arm of "Setup A" which normally drains to the sink is instead connected to the lower arm of Setup B.

If multiple solutions will be refluxed at the same time (e.g. if many students are performing a reflux side by side), the hoses from each reflux setup can be connected in series (Figure 1.62). To accomplish this, the upper arm of "Setup A" which normally drains to the sink is instead connected to the lower arm of "Setup B.' The upper arm of Setup B then drains to the sink. Connecting apparatuses in series minimizes the use of water, as water exiting one condenser enters the next. Several reflux setups can be connected in series, and the water flow should be monitored to ensure that all setups are adequately cooled.

If the heat source was preheated (optional), the solution should begin to boil within five minutes. If it does not, increase the rate of heuting. The appropriate heating rate occurs when the solution is vigorously boiling and a "reflux ring" is seen roughly one-third of the way up the condenser: A reflux ring" is the upper limit of where hot vapors are actively condensing. With some solutions (eg. aqueous solution) the reflux ring is obvious with easily visible droplets in the condenser (Figures 1.64 a+b). With other solutions (e.ff. many organic solvents) the reflux ring is subtler, but can be seen with close observation (Figure 1.64c). Subtle movement may be seen in the condenser as liquid deips down the sides of the condenser, or background objects may appear diported from refraction of light through the condensing liquid (in Figure 164d the ring stand pole is distorted). 8. f following a procedure in which you are to reflux fora certains Litme period (e.4. reflux for one hour"), the time period should begin when the solution is not just boiling but actively refluxing in the bottom third of the condenser. 9.
