Question

The chemical reaction of a substance with water resulting in decomposition is known as ____________.

(a) Hydrophilic

(b) hydroelectric

(c) hydrothermal

(d) hydrolysis

​

Answer 1

The chemical reaction of a substance with water resulting in decomposition is known as ___

d) hydrolysis .

Answer 2

The chemical reaction of a substance with water resulting in decomposition is known as hydrolysis.

Explanation:

• Option D. hydrolysis is correct answer.
• In chemistry and physiology, hydrolysis is a two different decomposition reaction including water as one of the reactants.
• Other than water, the reactants and products of hydrolysis might be neutral molecules, as in most organic compound hydrolyses, or ionic molecules, as in salt, acid, and base hydrolyses.
• Option (a) Hydrophilic is incorrect answer.
• The term "hydrophilic" refers to someone who has a strong affection for water.
• Something that is hydrophilic breaks quickly in liquid and is solvable in it.
• Option (b) hydroelectric is incorrect answer.
• Electricity generated by generator powered by turbines that transform the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy is known as hydroelectric power.
• Option (c) hydrothermal is incorrect answer.
• The method of extracting temperature or power from a big body of water is known as hydrothermal energy.
• The energy flowing through the subtropical ocean's surface layer is 10,000 times larger than that utilized by human cultures.
