So that the the steam of cold water in the outer tube can condense all the vapour which goes inside the inner tube.

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.


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.


How can you separate mixture of sugar and liquid?

Heat till the liquid boils, if you just want the sugar. If you want both, perform simple distillation, you must put the sugar in a flask, put a flame under the flask, and attach a tube to the flask (must have an airtight fit). Then attach a liebig condenser to the tube, and a receiving tube to the end of the liebig condenser. Have a flask under the receiving tube to collect the liquid. What will happen, as you heat the mixture is: all the liquid will evaporate, go along the tubes, and condense at the liebig condenser back into liquid, and it will dribble into a flask. The sugar will be left in the original flask. Getting both of them is more complicated than getting just the sugar :)


What is the use of Liebig condenser?

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.


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.
