What are the differences between dehydration and hydrolosys?

Dehydration synthesis is when two molecules come together to produce a water molecule (by bonding OH and H so you have H2O.) Hydrolysis is doing that in reverse. Breaking the H2O into H and OH and therefore breaking the bond and separating the two molecules.


What is the difference between dehydration reaction and hydrolysis reaction?

A dehydration reaction involves removing a water molecule to form a bond between two molecules, while a hydrolysis reaction breaks a bond between two molecules by adding a water molecule. Dehydration reactions are involved in building macromolecules like proteins and carbohydrates, while hydrolysis reactions are involved in breaking down these macromolecules for energy or recycling.


The formation of an ester bond between glycerol and a fatty acid in a triglyceride release what molecule?

The formation of an ester bond between glycerol and a fatty acid in a triglyceride releases a water molecule as a byproduct. This is known as a dehydration synthesis reaction where water is removed during bond formation.


Which reaction dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis converts a polymer to its monomer?

Hydrolysis converts polymers to monomers by adding H2O between each monomer. In dehydration synthesis, the opposite occurs. As the name implies, water is removed in order to bond the monomers.


What is a sentence using the word dehydration synthesis?

During dehydration synthesis, two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, releasing a molecule of water as a byproduct.

How can be dehydration synthesis reversed?

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.


A dehydration reaction occurring between two primary alcohol molecules will produce what?

A dehydration reaction between two primary alcohol molecules will produce water as a byproduct, along with an ether compound.


How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related?

dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.

How is dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis similar?

dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.


How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?

They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.


What is the Reverse of dehydration synthesis?

The reverse of dehydration synthesis is hydrolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks down molecules by adding water. In hydrolysis, a water molecule is split into a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide ion, which are added to the molecule being broken down.


What reaction is used to break down polymers. is water added or removed. how does this compare to dehydration synthesis?

A hydrolysis reaction. Water is added. Dehydration synthesis is when two water molecules join together. Hydrolysis is the separation of two water molecules.

What is the function of hydrogen in hydrolysis?

Hydrolysis of water produce hydrogen ions.


How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related to monomers and polymers?

Yes! Dehydration is the combining of two or more molecules while producing water. Hydrolysis is the addition of water to a molecule to split it up into smaller molecules. Hydrolysis is to Degradation as Dehydration is to Synthesis. Matter of fact, it is usually called Dehydration Synthesis!


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.
