Findenser - Condensing Diethyl Ether ?
Posted: Thu 9 Oct 2014 15:41What about condensing Diethyl Ether ?
Answer from Radleys FAQ :
Some very low boiling solvents are just too difficult to condense with any kind of air condenser. In such circumstances a water cooled condenser may be the only option.
Diethyl Ether in particular is very difficult to condense.
Findenser will cope with smaller volumes (up to 100ml in a 250ml flask) with a hotplate/heating block accurately controlled at no more than 5°C above boiling point.
