Water typically cools to around room temperature (20-25°C) when passing through a Liebig condenser, which is a type of water-cooled condenser used in laboratory settings to cool hot vapors and condense them back into liquid form.
A thermometer is required in a Liebig condenser to monitor and control the temperature of the cooling water flowing through the condenser. This is important to ensure optimal cooling efficiency and to prevent overheating, which could lead to loss of condensation and inefficient distillation.
In distillation, water evaporates from the condenser due to a difference in temperature between the hot vapor coming from the boiling flask and the cold surface of the condenser. This temperature difference causes the water vapor to condense into liquid form on the condenser surface, resulting in the separation and collection of the distilled water.
The double tube in a Liebig condenser allows cold water to flow through the inner tube, cooling the hot vapor inside the outer tube, which then condenses into a liquid. This double-tube design maximizes the surface area for efficient heat exchange, improving the condensation process.
The tap on a Liebig condenser allows for the control and regulation of the coolant flow, typically water, used to remove heat from the vapor passing through the condenser. By adjusting the tap, users can optimize the cooling efficiency, ensuring that the vapor condenses effectively into liquid. This control is essential for maintaining the desired temperature and preventing overheating during distillation or other processes. Additionally, the tap can facilitate the easy draining or replacement of coolant.
When testing the efficiency of a water-cooled condenser, the refrigerant condensing temperature should indeed be higher than the leaving water temperature to ensure effective heat transfer. This temperature difference allows the refrigerant to release heat to the water, facilitating condensation. If the condensing temperature is not sufficiently above the leaving water temperature, the condenser may not operate efficiently, leading to reduced system performance and potential overheating. Properly managing this temperature difference is crucial for optimal condenser operation.

A thermometer is required in a Liebig condenser to monitor and control the temperature of the cooling water flowing through the condenser. This is important to ensure optimal cooling efficiency and to prevent overheating, which could lead to loss of condensation and inefficient distillation.
If the water flow in a Liebig condenser is reversed from its intended direction, the cooling efficiency will decrease and the condensation of vapor inside the condenser will be less effective. This can result in lower overall condensation efficiency and potentially affect the distillation process taking place.
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.
The temperature of the water leaving the condenser would depend on the amount of heat removed from the water in the condenser. Without this information, it is not possible to accurately determine the temperature of the water leaving the condenser.
The approach temperature difference (ATD) is used to determine the condenser performance of a water-cooled condenser. It is the temperature difference between the refrigerant condensing temperature and the cooling water inlet temperature. A lower ATD indicates better performance and efficiency of the condenser.
Running the cooling water in the Liebig condenser counter-current to the distillate flow improves the condensing efficiency by maintaining a larger temperature difference between the vapor and the cooling water throughout the length of the condenser. This allows for more effective heat transfer and a higher rate of condensation.
