How It Is Used
Cooling water flows through the outer jacket while hot vapour passes along the inner tube and condenses to liquid. For distillation the Liebig condenser is clamped sloping downwards; for reflux it is mounted upright on the flask. Support it with a boss head and clamp so the joints are not strained, and secure the tubing with clips to prevent leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should the Liebig Condenser be mounted?
Slanted downwards for distillation, or vertically on the reaction flask for reflux, held by a boss head and clamp so the ground-glass joints are not stressed.
What tubing fits the Liebig Condenser?
The serrated side nipples take standard 8–10 mm tubing for the coolant.
