Asked by Jay
What is the purpose of refluxing? Which reaction conditions are indicated with reflux? Will you apply heat? How do you know the temperature at which you should reflux?
I think it is "A reflux system is used to condense vapours escaping from the hot flask. "
Please help.
Your definition is ok but it doesn't go quite far enough. The vapors are condensed BUT the condenser is mounted in such a way (usually vertically on top of the boiling flask)that the condensed vapors return to the boiling pot to be reboiled. The other parts of the question are specific to a reaction and don't have general answers. I hope this helps.
