separation

extraction
Extraction is a technique used to separate compounds based upon their different solubilities in two solvents that don’t mix.
Usually, one of the solvents will be water and the other will be an immiscible organic solvent (often methylene chloride, diethyl ether, or ethyl acetate).
In general, very non-polar compounds will partion to the organic solvent and very polar compounds and salts will partion to the aqueous phase. Since the two solvents do not mix, they can be separated in a Separatory Funnel providing a very quick and easy way to separate compounds.
Whether the water layer is on the top or bottom depends on the density of the other solvent (methylene chloride is heavier than water and goes to the bottom of the separtory funnel and diethyl ether and ethyl acetate are lighter than water and stay on the top).

drying agent
A drying agent is an inorganic salt which readily takes up water to become hydrated. Final traces of water are removed by treating the organic solution with a drying agent.
Potassium carbonate, (K2CO3), magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) are commonly used agents.

aldol
An aldol is a beta-hydroxy ketone or aldehyde, and is the product of aldol addition.
Aldol is an abbreviation of aldehyde and alcohol. When the enolate of an aldehyde or a ketone reacts at the α-carbon with the carbonyl of another molecule under basic or acidic conditions to obtain β-hydroxy aldehyde or ketone, this reaction is called Aldol Reaction.
When used alone, the term “aldol” may also refer specifically to the compound 3-hydroxybutanal.
