Question 1

Dehydration (Condensation):

Answer 1

Removal of –OH and –H from reactants to form H₂O and join reactants together.

Question 2

Hydrolysis:

Answer 2

Water splits a large molecule into smaller subunits by breaking bonds.

Question 3

Neutralization:

Answer 3

Reaction between acids and bases to form salt and water.

Question 4

Redox Reactions:

Answer 4
