Question

CH3OH + HOCH3 = CH3-O-CH3 + HOH Is this reaction an addition reaction or a dehydration reaction or synthesis or whatever? A. Addition B. Dehydration Brainliest for the correct answer. Pls help

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Dehydration

Explanation:

Addition reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which two different compunds combine together to form a new compund.

Dehydration reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which water molecule (H2O) is removed from the reactant.

For example: RCO2H + R′OH ⇌ RCO2R′ + H2O

In the given equation: CH3OH + HOCH3 = CH3-O-CH3 + HOH

The reaction is showing dehydration because two molcules are combined aand  water molecule is eliminated from the reactant.

Hence, the correct option is B. Dehydration.

Answer 2

The answer is B dehydration
