Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When water is added to split a molecule, the reaction is known as a(n) ____ reaction.
A
dehydration synthesis
B
condensation
C
hydrolysis
D
super magical
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrolysis is a process in which water is added to a substance. Sometimes this addition of water causes both substance and water molecule to split into two parts. In such reactions, one fragment of the target molecule gains a hydrogen ion and it breaks a chemical bond in the compound.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dissolving a salt of a weak acid or base in water is an example of a hydrolysis reaction. Strong acids may also be hydrolyzed. For example, dissolving sulfuric acid in water yields hydronium and bisulfate.

Detailed explanation-3: -In chemistry, a hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water. In organic chemistry, water is added to an unsaturated substrate, which is usually an alkene or an alkyne.
