Détails de la réponse
The reaction taking place in the flask above is dehydration. Dehydration is a chemical reaction that involves the removal of water from a molecule or compound. In the diagram, there is a reactant (the pink molecule) that loses a water molecule (H2O) and forms a new compound (the blue molecule). This process is known as dehydration, and it is represented by the removal of water (H2O) from the pink molecule, leaving behind a double bond (represented by the black line) between the two carbon atoms.
