Question

1. Which type of reaction has water in its products?

a. Hydrolysis
b. Dehydration synthesis

2. What type of reaction uses water as a reactant?
a. Hydrolysis
b. Dehydration synthesis

Answer 1

b. Dehydration synthesis gives out water as a product.

a. Hydrolysis reaction uses water as a reactant.

Step-by-step explanation:

b. Dehydration synthesis can be defined as, formation of larger molecule from small reactant, followed by loss of water from the reaction.

• They are also called condensation reactions.

a. Explanation: Hydrolysis, it is the reaction in which compound is interacted with water which results in the degradation of that particular compound.

• Hydo means water, lysis means to dissolve or breakdown.

Answer 2

1. b. Dehydration synthesis

2. a. Hydrolysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrolysis is the process where water is used to break chemical bonds. Dehydration synthesis is the reverse reaction, where a bond is formed resulting in the loss of water from the molecule, so a water molecule is generated as a product.

That means that dehydration synthesis produces water, and hydrolysis uses water.
