The degradation of certain biopolymers (proteins, complex sugars) by the chemical process that results in smaller polymers or monomers (such as amino acids or monosaccharides)
A chemical reaction that releases sugars, which are normally linked together in complex chains In ethanol production, hydrolysis reactions are used to break down the cellulose and hemicellulose in the biomass
Chemical weathering process that involves the reaction between mineral ions and the ions of water (OH- and H+), and results in the decomposition of the rock surface by forming new compounds, and by increasing the pH of the solution involve through the release of the hydroxide ions
Chemical decom- position of a substance involving the addition of water Hysteresis - The heat generated by rapid deformation of a vulcanized rubber part It is the difference between the energy of the deforming stress and the energy of the recovery cycle
hydrolysis (hì-dròl¹î-sîs), chemical reaction of a compound with WATER, usually resulting in the formation of one or more new compounds The most common hydrolysis occurs when a salt of a weak acid or weak base (or both) is dissolved in water Water ionizes into negative hydroxyl ions (OH-) and positive hydrogen ions (H+), which become hydrated to form positive hydronium ions (H3O+) The salt also breaks up into positive and negative ions, and the formed ions recombine 1
a chemical process of decomposition involving the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion of water
The chemical reaction between water and a compound usually a salt The hydroxyl from water combines with a cation from the compound resulting in hydrolysis to form a base The hydrogen from water reacts with the anion from the compound to form an acid
Process of decomposition involving splitting of a bond and addition of the elements of water
A chemical reaction in which a compound reacts with water, resulting in its decomposition or alteration
a chemical reaction in which water reacts with a compound to produce other compounds; involves the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion from the water
