Dehydration is the removal of water.
Example reactions:
Alcohol -> Ether + water
2 R-OH → R-O-R + H2O
Another classic dehydration reaction is the formation of a peptide bond between a carboxylic acid and an amine component of different amino acids.
The removal of water from a compound is known as dehydration. This process typically involves heating the compound to drive off the water molecules, resulting in the formation of a new compound. Dehydration reactions are commonly used in organic chemistry to create new compounds or to purify substances.
Drying typically refers to the removal of moisture or water from a substance, while dehydration specifically refers to the removal of water molecules from a larger molecule. Drying can involve physical methods like evaporation, whereas dehydration often involves chemical reactions such as elimination reactions.
Although I have a moderately good understanding of chemistry I am unsure what you mean by "dehydration reactions". I suspect that if you could explain to me what a dehydration reaction is you woud be well on the way to answering your own question. I just looked it up on wikipedia. So should you! I have learned something new... now it is time for you to do so a well. JCF
In chemistry, condensation reactions are when covalent bonds are formed between molecules and a water molecule is generated as a byproduct. The reverse of this process is hydrolysis, whereby water is consumed in order to cleave a covalent bond.

Dehydration refers to a chemical reaction where water is removed from the reactants, typically resulting in the formation of a larger molecule. In organic chemistry, this often involves the condensation of two smaller molecules, such as alcohols, to form an ether or an alkene, with water as a byproduct. The reactants are usually two functional groups that can bond, while the products are the resulting compound and water.
yes it causes dehydration
Dehydration is spelled dehydration
