What occurs in a dehydration synthesis reaction?
a. the reaction breaks a chemical bond by adding water.
b. as the reaction occurs oh and h are removed.
c. the reaction breaks a chemical bond by removing water.
d. as the reaction occurs water is added.?

Answer : The correct option is, (b) as the reaction occurs OH and H are removed.

Explanation :

Dehydration synthesis reaction : It is a type of condensation reaction in which the two functional groups combined to form a covalent bond with release water molecule as a byproduct.

Or, we can say that when two smaller molecule combine with covalent bonds then it forms a larger molecule with release water molecule as a byproduct.

From this we conclude that, the option A and D are incorrect option because in this water is added during the reaction. The option C is also incorrect option because in this molecules are breaks in the reaction.

So, the correct option is C because in this OH and H are removed in the reaction that means water is release in this reaction.

Hence, the correct option is, (b) as the reaction occurs OH and H are removed.

characterization of nanoparticles is a critical step in nanomaterial production as it provides information of dimension, morphology, surface charge, distribution and degree of surface functionalization.
