Water will be a product in a dehydration reaction. For example, when copper sulfate hydrate is heated, the water of crystallization vaporizes, leaving behind copper sulfate anhydrate.

Answer:

The correct answer is - end product.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dehydration reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between two compounds in which water is one of the end products.

When two monomers may react to one another and an H or hydrogen atom of one monomer binds to OH or hydroxyl group of another monomer to make a dimer. In this reaction the end products that form are water and a dimer, it is an example of the dehydration reaction.

Thus, the correct answer is - end product.
