Liebig Condenser: practical apparatus
What Liebig Condenser Is Used For
Liebig Condenser is practical apparatus for heating, cooling, or collecting substances during distillation. In GCSE Chemistry, the annotated diagram helps connect the apparatus to the method, measurement, or observation being tested.
How To Use It In An Exam Answer
Use the marker labels to name the apparatus first, then say why it is suitable. A strong answer links liebig condenser to heating, cooling, or collecting substances during distillation, rather than only saying that it is used in a lab.

Common Trap
Do not describe apparatus by appearance only. Marks usually come from explaining its function in the practical method.
