I have a confusion. I have learnt in school, from my textbooks and online that the conditions for going from a haloalkane to an alcohol are heat under reflux with Aq NaOH. Though, in almost every chem paper when they ask to mention these conditions, the answer is Heat with Aq NaOH.
I don't get why it isn't heat under reflux as that is what i have read everywhere.
Someone please clarify this.
Thankx

SpongeBob:
From what I have learnt, it is indeed under reflux.

Could you upload the paper?

Yeah it is.

But usually it does not really matter if you say just heat. It's understood that it is heat under reflux ;)

SpongeBob:
 Usually when it comes to converting alcohol to aldehyde, they do specify if it is heat under reflux. So I wonder why not here?  :-\ It's not the same thing you know-heat and heat under reflux.  :-\

yeah i dont think its the same thing :/
