How many molecules are required to hydrolyze a polymer that is 10 monomers long?
A
10
B
9
C
5
D
1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nine water molecules are required to hydrolyze a ten-monomer long polymer completely.

Detailed explanation-2: -10 molecules of water are used to completely hydrolyze a polymer that is 11 monomers long. Please summarize the relationship between dehydration reactions and hydrolysis. Dehydration reactions assemble polymers, while the hydrolysis reactions break the polymers apart. The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6.

Detailed explanation-3: -1 Answer. nine assuming you are breaking only the bonds where the water molecule is released when the bonds are formed.

Detailed explanation-4: -2.1 Introduction to Polymerization During polymerization, smaller molecules, called monomers or building blocks, are chemically combined to create larger molecules or a macromolecule. Hundreds of such macromolecules collectively form a polymer.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monomers are joined through condensation reactions (in this case, a dehydration condensation reaction). Water is a product of the reaction; one water is produced for every bond that is formed. Therefore, six adjoined monomers release five molecules of water.
