so theres the acid-catalyzed dehydration reaction that results in a double bond. favoured by heat. and there's removal of water, they call this dehydration.
then there's an aldol condensation that results in an aldehyde-alcohol product and removal of water. they call this condensation
are dehydration and condensation the same thing? can i use these words interchanagbly?
