What is reflux?
Give an example.
In chemistry, reflux is a reaction condition that involves heating a chemical reaction for a specific amount of time while continuously cooling the vapor produced back into liquid form using a condenser.
Example: bromination of toluene

What is solvolysis?
Solvolysis is a chemical reaction that occurs when a solvent and solute interact. It is a type of nucleophilic substitution or elimination where the nucleophile is a solvent molecule.

How is Sodium hydrogensulphite useful for separation and purification of aldehydes?
Sodium hydrogensulphite can be used to separate and purify aldehydes because the addition compound it forms with aldehydes is water soluble and can be converted back to the original aldehyde with dilute acid or alkali. To purify an impure aldehyde, you can shake it with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogensulphite to create crystals. These crystals can then be filtered and washed to remove impurities, and then treated with dilute acid to regenerate the aldehyde.
