on the DAT, will they give us say for aldol or claisen, 2 equivalents of the reactant? or will they just list 1 expecting you to know what will happen
 
One molar of anything means 6.023 *10^23 molecules, right?
Now think about collision therory. There would be many molecules of keton and aldehyde that collide with the right orientation. SO:
yes, when they gove you ald/Ketone with the right catalyst (acid/base), do condensation reaction. It is also easy to realize this looking at your answer choices.
