everse\ of a condensation reaction?

a) substitution
b) oxidation
c) addition
d) hydrolysis
e) esterification

Explanation:

• Condensation reaction: Forms a larger molecule and releases a small molecule (like water).
• Hydrolysis: Breaks a molecule using water. So it's the reverse of condensation.
• Substitution: One group replaces another.
• Oxidation: Involves electron loss.
• Addition: Adds groups to a molecule.
• Esterification: A type of condensation (forms ester and water).

Answer:

d) hydrolysis
