A Liebig condenser is about the most simple condenser going. It has a gas or vapor pathway that is enclosed by a jacket of through which a cooling fluid (water, maybe) is passed. The cooling fluid cools the outer surface of the vapor tube and this cooling effect reaches the inner wall of the vapor tube to cool the vapor and cause it to condense. There are a couple of nice drawings that can be viewed by using the link to our friends at Wikipedia.

∙ 10y agoBecause in a Liebig condenser water is allowed to flow from the cold tap through the water jacket. Here water takes the heat away from the hot vapour and causes it to condense.
The Liebig condenser is more efficient than the simple distillation apparatus because it has a large surface area and water is usually allowed to flow from the cold tap.

∙ 12y agoLiebig condenser is a glass tube surrounded by a glass chamber called water jacket. During the distillation process, water is allowed to flow from the cold tap through the water jacket and down the sink. The water takes away the heat from the hot vapour in the test tube of the condense and causes condensation. Then the vapour will cool down and the water will get collected in the flask and salt will be left in the other flask where you heated the salt water

What is the use of liebing conclenser?
The use of the Liebig condenser is for the vaporization which passes through the center tube. It cools and condenses hot water vapor.
What is the piece of equipment that changes steam and oil vapour to liquid?
condencer
In Liebig condenser what will happen if the water flow from the upper part to the lower part of the condenser?
Heat. The condenser acts through cooling with a greater surface area (on the inside of the condenser); the constant fluid flow keeps the temperature down. If you were to assemble the apparatus so that the water flows from top to bottom, the condenser would never fill up, and your reaction will have difficulty cooling down. Risky if you have volatile chemicals or a reaction that you need to keep cool.
What is the problem with using a simple distillation apparatus a glass tube?
The problem with distillation is how to turn all of the hot vapour back into liquid. A simple distillation experiment using just a glass tube as a condenser, rather than a Liebig one, loses most of the steam.

How do you draw a Liebig condenser or What is the Liebig condenser's internationally known symbol?
If you just draw a schematic representation of it (it's basically a tube inside another tube), most people (at least those that have any hope of understanding the drawing as a whole) will understand what it is. I'm not sure that there's an "official" symbol for it. I can't really draw things here, but check the related links; any chemist would immediately recognize the condenser in that drawing even without the label.Since the Liebig condenser is the simplest possible type, you don't need to do anything "special" to represent it.
