Question

unit 1 dehydration synthesis & hydrolysis c4u examine the scenarios presented and determine whether they are showing dehydration synthesis or hydro multiple choice 17 points correctly identify what is occurring in the diagram. c3h5(oh)2.(ocor)+h2o ⇌ c3h5(oh)3 + rcooh dehydration synthesis hydrolysis

Explanation:

Hydrolysis involves a compound reacting with water to break into smaller components. Here, a molecule reacts with water ($H_2O$) to form two different molecules. Dehydration synthesis is the opposite, where molecules combine and water is removed. Since water is used to break the molecule in the given reaction, it is hydrolysis.

Answer:

Hydrolysis
