Question

question 12
a chemical reaction occurs where larger molecules are formed from smaller
molecules where water is released.
which of the following best characterizes this reaction?
organic
hydrophilic
hydrolysis
dehydration synthesis

Explanation:

• Organic refers to carbon - containing compounds, not the reaction type described.
• Hydrophilic means water - loving (interacting well with water), not the reaction type.
• Hydrolysis is the breaking of bonds with the addition of water.
• Dehydration synthesis is the formation of larger molecules from smaller ones with the release of water (a dehydration reaction as water is removed).

Answer:

Dehydration synthesis
