question 19 (1 point)
which reaction is the
everse\ of a condensation reaction?
o a) substitution
b) oxidation
o c) hydrolysis
d) addition
e) esterification

Explanation:

• Condensation reaction: Two molecules combine to form a larger molecule with the release of a small molecule (e.g., water).
• Hydrolysis reaction: A molecule reacts with water to break into smaller molecules.
• So hydrolysis is the reverse of condensation as condensation builds up molecules by removing water and hydrolysis breaks them down by adding water.

Answer:

C. hydrolysis
