A
To separate components based on boiling points
B
To provide a source of inert gas

D
To heat the reaction mixture
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of a condenser in an organic chemistry setup: A condenser is typically used in distillation or reflux processes.
Recognize that a condenser is designed to cool vapors: As vapors rise from a boiling liquid, they enter the condenser where they are cooled.
Identify the process of condensation: The cooling effect in the condenser causes the vapor to lose energy and transition back into a liquid state.
Consider the context of the reaction setup: In many organic chemistry experiments, maintaining a liquid state is crucial for the continuation of the reaction or for the collection of purified components.
Conclude that the primary function of the condenser is to cool and condense vapor back into liquid, ensuring the proper functioning of the reaction setup.
