Question

Which of the following processes take place in the set-up shown above?

• A. Boiling and evaporation
• B. Evaporation and melting
• C. Boiling and condensation
• D. Evaporation and condensation

Answer 1

The correct option is D Evaporation and condensation

Evaporation will take place in the distillation flask and condensation will take place in the Liebig condenser. On heating, the temperature of liquid reaches its boiling point and liquid start boiling in distilling flask. This vapour of a liquid reaches Liebig condenser which is coated with jacket and water flows make its temperature low. So when vapour passed through this condenser, it starts condensing.
