- The Liebig condenser is used in chemical distillation to cool and condense gas into a liquid.
- It consists of a straight glass tube through which the gas travels, surrounded by a water jacket to help with cooling.
- In a typical laboratory setup, the condenser is clamped to a retort stand in a vertical or oblique orientation.
- The hot vapor of a liquid is introduced at the upper end of the inner tube and condenses as it comes into contact with the colder walls of the condenser.
