The water inlet is at the bottom and outlet is at the top in the Leibig's condenser. Why?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Liebig condenser is much more efficient than a simple retort due to its use of liquid for cooling. Water can absorb much more heat than the same volume of air, and its constant circulation through the water jacket keeps the condenser's temperature constant.
This 300 mm condenser has a straight inner tube that the condensing vapor passes through and a large outer jacket that cooling water passes through.
A Liebig condenser (sometimes simply called a water condenser) is a piece of glassware that is used to condense compounds in the vapor (gas) phase back down to the liquid phase under boiling conditions.
When a Liebig condenser is being used normally, it's attached to another piece of glassware known as a round bottom flask, which is the container that actually holds the liquids. I
