Reflux
Many reactions require extended periods of heating at a constant temperature. One way to accomplish this is through reflux [Latin, "flow back"], heating a solution in an apparatus with a vertical condenser above the reaction flask, which returns any vaporized solvent to the flask, whose contents are thus kept at the temperature determined by the boiling point of the solvent chosen.
