What is a reaction that breaks down compounds by the addition of water?
Hydrolysis is the type of reaction occurring when complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones by the addition of water.Example:Hydrolysis of a molecule of a disaccharide, such as sucrose, into two molecules of a monosaccharide, such as glucose.C12H22O11 + H2O ---> 2C6H12O6
Name that reaction by which a chemical compound is broken down due to reaction with water?
When a compound is broken down by the reaction with water, this is termed hydrolysis.
Are elements chemically bonded?
Neither, because they don't get broken down at all they are one of itself. It isn't made into 2 types of substances. Only compounds get broken down chemically,
How are substances formed a compound?
Compounds are formed from simpler substances by chemical reaction. Some compounds can be formed directly from their constituent elements, e.g., water from hydrogen and oxygen: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. Other compounds are formed by reaction of an element with another compound; e.g., sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed (and hydrogen gas released) by the reaction of sodium metal with water: 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2↑. Compounds are also made by reaction of other compounds; e.g., sodium hydroxide reacts with hydrogen chloride (HCl) to form sodium chloride and water: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O. Complex molecules such as proteins are formed by a series of reactions involving elements and simple compounds. Compounds can be decomposed by chemical means into elements or simpler compounds. Water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. Candle wax, a mixture of hydrocarbons, is changed in the candle flame by combustion (with oxygen) to a mixture of the simpler compounds carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. Life is based on numerous reactions in which energy is stored and released as compounds are produced and decomposed.
What type reaction occurs when complex compounds are broken down into simpler substances?
This kind of reaction is called "decomposition".
Reaction for respiration an anabolic reaction or catabolic reaction?
Reaction for respiration is a catabolic process. It is where organic compounds are broken into simpler substances through the transfer of electrons.
What type of reaction occurs complex compounds are broken down into simpler substances?
decomposition
How can compounds be broken down into their elements?
Compounds are most notably broken down into their component elements by Electrolysis. But some can be broken by heat and catalyst. More complex compounds can be broken up into simpler compounds for their elements by a decomposition reaction. Example: NaCl---Na and Cl salt sodium and chlorine or C6H12O6---6H2O 6C sugar 6 water molecules and 6 carbon atoms
Are bonds broken in an endothermic reaction?
Yes. No bonds broken, no reaction.
What Compounds are broken down into simpler substances?
In the appropriate situation, all compounds are broken down into simpler substances.
Can compounds be broken down only by chemical means?
yes, they can only be broken down by chemical means
Can a element be broken down into compounds?
You misunderstand!!!! a compound is broken down into its elemental atoms.
Compounds are broken down or new compounds are formed in blank?
atoms
