There are multiple processes which can result in the formation of a water molecule. One example is the neutralization of an acid and a base which forms salt and water (e.g. HCl + NaOH ---> H2O +NaCl). In those types of reactions a water molecule is formed when a proton (aka an H+ cation) bonds with a hydroxide anion. There are several other water forming reactions. Another would be the dehydration synthesis of two monosaccharides.

Why is condensation reactions referred to as dehydration synthesis?
if a condensation reaction involves loss of water, ONLY then it is known to a dehydration. however, there are reactions which may involve loss of carbon dioxide or ammonia, and are then not considered to be dehydration
What results from the hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase?
Sucrose in a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule. Upon hydrolysis the disaccharide is broken up into its constituent monosaccharaides, with a resulting loss of one molecule of water for each molecule of sucrose hydrolyzed.
Any chemical reaction that involves the loss of one or more electrons by an atom or ion is a?
It is an oxidation reaction.
What is the loss of water from plants called?
Transpiration is water loss from plants.
What is dehydration in biology?
The loss of H20 either in a specific molecular reaction or as evaporation through sweat.
Similarities between dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis?
Condensation reaction creates a covalent bond between 2 interacting subunits, linking them to each other while hydrolysis reaction is a catabolic reaction in which a water molecule is used to break a covalent bond holding subunits together.
What happens in an oxidatoin reaction?
Oxidation involve loss of electrons.
How can tell if an element has been oxidized or reduced in a reaction?
Oxidation involve loss of electrons and reduction involve gain of electrons.
What is the difference between dehydration synthesis reaction and a hydrolysis reaction?
Condensation is a chemical process by which 2 molecules are joined together to make a larger, more complex, molecule, with the loss of water.It is the basis for the synthesis of all the important biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids) from their simpler sub-units.It is important not to get condensation and hydrolysis muddled up, as they are in fact opposite processes! Condensation is so called because the product is drawn together from two other substances, in effect getting smaller by losing water. It does not give off water to condense and run down the window!In all cases of condensation, molecules with projecting -H atoms are linked to other molecules with projecting -OH groups, producing H2O, ( H.OH ) also known as water, which then moves away from the original molecules.A-H + B-OH --> A-B + H2O

What is called loss of water molecules by a chemical compound?
Dehydration reaction.
Which reaction are of oxidation reaction and are of exothermic nature?
These are not mutually exclusive. A reaction can be oxidation and exothermic. Oxidation reactions involve a change in oxidation state (charge) which is interpreted as a loss of electrons. Exothermic reactions release heat energy.
What is the Reaction of salicylic acid with bromine water?
2,4,6-tribromophenol is formed by the loss of CO2 (decarbonylation).
How does a condensation reaction get its names?
A condensation reaction is one in which two or more molecules combine into a larger molecule often with the loss of a small molecule, such as water.
Is dehydration the chemical reaction to make a polymer?
Yes, monomers are connected by a reaction in which two molecules are covalently bonded to each other through loss of a water molecule; this is known as condensation reaction, specifically a dehydration reaction. There are other mechanisms and reactions to make polymers though. Dehydration is just one of them but not the only one. A poly-alcohol reacting with a poly-acid with removal of water (dehydration) will produce a polyester for example.
What is a reaction to loss of status in the group or loss of love?
Depression, anger, etc.
What results from the hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase?
Sucrose in a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule. Upon hydrolysis the disaccharide is broken up into its constituent monosaccharaides, with a resulting loss of one molecule of water for each molecule of sucrose hydrolyzed.
