Condensation and Hydrolysis Reactions
LEQ: How can I identify condensation and hydrolysis reactions?
Ones tell twos…
What does the word dehydration mean?
Twos tell ones…
If a reaction were called a dehydration reaction, what would you expect to be happening in that reaction?
Dehydration reaction
As a polymer is made, water is released.
Also known as condensation reactions.
Ones tell twos…
If the forming of a polymer releases water, predict what the opposite reaction would be.
Twos tell ones…
Predict a meaning for the word hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis Reaction
Hydro- means water. -lysis means splittingWhen water is used to split large molecules (polymers) into smaller molecules (monomers).
Twos tell ones…
What’s the relationship between dehydration or condensation reactions and hydrolysis reactions?
Enzymes
Special proteins that make chemical reactions occur faster.
Also called catalysts.
