Which of the following statements concerning dehydration reactions and hydrolysis is correct?
A
Dehydration reactions allow solutions to evaporate; hydrolysis reactions dissolve solutes.
B
Dehydration reactions and hydrolysis reactions assemble polymers from monomers.
C
Hydrolysis reactions create polymers from monomers; and dehydration reactions create monomers from polymers.
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic concepts: Dehydration reactions involve the removal of water to form a new bond, typically creating larger molecules from smaller ones, such as forming polymers from monomers.
Recognize the role of hydrolysis: Hydrolysis reactions involve the addition of water to break bonds, typically breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones, such as breaking down polymers into monomers.
Analyze the given statements: Evaluate each statement based on the definitions of dehydration and hydrolysis reactions.
Identify the correct statement: The statement 'Dehydration reactions create polymers from monomers; hydrolysis reactions break down polymers' aligns with the definitions of these reactions.
Conclude the analysis: Confirm that the correct statement accurately describes the processes of dehydration and hydrolysis in the context of polymer and monomer interactions.
