Match the description with either a dehydration reaction or a hydrolysis reaction.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1) Hydrolysis

2)Dehydration

3)Dehydration

4)Hydrolysis

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of substances by water and depends on the chemistry, solubility, pH, and the oxidation–reduction (Eh or redox) potential of compound

<em>https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/hydrolysis</em>

With hydrolysis water will be a reactant, not a product, and is associated with breaking down substances. Hence 1 and 4 being a Hydrolysis reaction.

Dehydration on the other hand, is defined as :

In a dehydration reaction, either a hydroxyl group from one molecule combines with a hydrogen atom from the other molecule, or two hydrogen atoms from one molecule combine with an oxygen atom on the other molecule. In either case, water is released, and the two molecules are joined together.

https://www.albert.io/blog/dehydration-synthesis-ap-biology-crash-course/

Therefore it is associated with creating a bond of sorts, and water is a product, which is why 2 and 3 are dehydration.

Hope this helps!
