Dehydration is the loss of water and salts essential for normal body function. Description Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluid than it takes in. This condition can result from illness; a hot, dry climate; prolonged exposure to sun or high temperatures; not drinking enough water; ...
Dehydration synthesis is also referred to as a condensation or dehydration reaction. What occurs during a dehydration synthesis? During dehydration synthesis, water is formed as one of the main byproducts of the reaction. Water formation occurs when the hydroxyl group (OH) of one molecule joins ...

The next step in the overall process of dehydration where succinate is converted into fumarate. The last step of the citric acid cycle is the addition of water in the fumarate and malate is produced. Moreover, here in the last step, the citric acid cycle regenerates, oxaloacetate by the ox...
to deprive (a chemical compound) of water or the elements of water. to free (fruit, vegetables, etc.) from moisture for preservation; dry. to remove water from (the body or a tissue). to deprive of spirit, force, or meaning; render less interesting or effectual. ...
Enolates are widely used in the synthesis of organic compounds. An aldol condensation occurs when an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl functional group on an organic compound, resulting in the formation of a beta-hydroxyketone. A subsequent dehydration reaction produces a conjugated enone. This ...
Dehydration Reaction Examples Reactions that produceacid anhydridesare dehydration reactions. For example acetic acid (CH3COOH) forms acetic anhydride ((CH3CO)2O) and water by the dehydration reaction 2 CH3COOH → (CH3CO)2O + H2O Dehydration reactions are also involved in the production of manypoly...
Definition: Hydrolysis is a type ofdecomposition reactionwhere one of thereactantsiswater; and typically, water is used to break chemical bonds in the other reactant. Hydrolysis may be considered the reverse of a condensation reaction, in which two molecules combine with each other, producing wat...
