The Aldol Condensation (Acidic Conditions)

https://joechem.io/videos/42 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link).

In this video, we take a look at the Aldol Condensation, but this time in acidic conditions (here https://joechem.io/videos/41 we did the same, but in basic conditions). A few things differ now in acid, namely our nucleophile (an enol, not an enolate), and how the reaction must finish (the condensation product).
