Liebig Condenser

Product Code : SCL-LG-11987

Liebig Condenser (SKU SCL-LG-11987) is a straight, water-cooled borosilicate glass condenser with a 200 mm jacket that turns hot vapour back into liquid during distillation. It suits school and college distillation practicals, solvent recovery and research set-ups that call for a straight condenser. Science Lab Supplies offers this piece of borosilicate laboratory glassware in India from Ambala, and can dispatch it to schools, universities, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The 200 mm condenser's facts are laid out row by row in the table. In short, a straight inner vapour tube, integral with the body, sits inside a narrow cooling-water jacket; vapour travels down the inner tube while water flows through the jacket and carries the heat away.

Applications and Experiments for the Liebig Condenser

The condenser is the cooling stage of a simple distillation train: a heated flask sends vapour into it and a receiver collects the condensate. In teaching labs it demonstrates purification by distillation, phase change and heat transfer; in research rooms it can recover solvents or serve a reflux set-up that specifies a straight condenser.

• Class 11 chemistry: purification of liquids by simple distillation.
• B.Sc. organic chemistry: distilling and recovering solvents.
• Reflux heating where a straight water-cooled condenser is called for.
• Physics and chemistry demonstrations of condensation and heat transfer.

Hold the condenser in a Three Prong Glassware Holding Clamp on a Laboratory Retort Stand, start a gentle water flow before vapour arrives, and heat the flask with a Bunsen Burner or other suitable source. Never heat a sealed system.

Standard Scope of Supply

You receive one Liebig Condenser with a 200 mm jacket. Rubber tubing, clamps, stands, flasks, adapters, heating sources and receivers are not included, so list any of these you need and they can be quoted with the condenser as a complete distillation assembly.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

From one replacement condenser to a batch for every bench, tell us the quantity and the quotation will set out packing, delivery time and price. If you are building laboratory distillation apparatus in India, flasks and receivers can be priced in the same document.

Registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. To equip a distillation bench, put the condenser and its flasks in the enquiry cart, ask about joint sizes on the contact page, or follow the lab tender page for tender purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Liebig condenser used for?
It cools hot vapour and turns it back into liquid during laboratory distillation and related procedures. The condensed liquid runs out of the lower end of the inner tube into a receiving flask.

What size is this condenser?
The jacket is 200 mm long. Overall length and joint size are confirmed on the quotation, so mention the fitting your flasks and adapters need when you send the enquiry.

Which way should the cooling water flow?
Water should enter at the lower connection and leave from the upper one. This keeps the jacket full of water so the whole length of the vapour tube is cooled.

Who supplies the Liebig Condenser?
This condenser is quoted by Science Lab Supplies of Ambala, Haryana. Schools, colleges and contractors can buy it singly or with the flasks, stands and tubing for a full distillation set on one quotation.

Related Distillation Glassware and Assemblies

A condenser only works as part of a train: a boiling flask supplies the vapour, a receiver collects the distillate and longer condensers or complete assemblies suit other set-ups. The items below cover flasks, alternative condensers and ready-made distillation kits, so the whole bench can be ordered together.
