CONDENSATION REACTIONS When two molecules combine to for one larger, more complex molecule with the loss of a small molecule at the bonding site.
The lost molecule When the lost molecule is water, the reaction is called a The water is created byone molecule losing a H and the other an OH H+ OH = H2O Dehydration Reaction
Examples of Dehydration Reactions Disaccharide Dehydrationhttp://www.biotopics.co.uk/as/disaccharideformation.html Amino Acid Dehydration http://www.biotopics.co.uk/as/aminocon.html
The lost molecule Other Molecules formed during Condensation reactions are Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Methanol (CH3OH) Aecetic acid (CH3COOH)
