Hydration:
The addition of 1 or more molecules to a molecule or ion which results in formation of hydrated compounds is known as hydration.
\( E.g. CuSO_{4}+5H_{2}O\rightarrow CuSO_{4}.5H_{2}\)
Hydrolysis:
Chemical reaction in which hydroxide ions and hydrogen of water molecules react with a compound to form products is called hydrolysis.
E.g. \( NaH+H_{2}O\rightarrow NaOH+H_{2}\)
Answered by Pragya Singh | 1 year agoWhat do you understand by the terms :
(i) Hydrogen economy
(ii) Hydrogenation
(iii) ‘syngas’
(iv) Water-gas shift reaction
(v) Fuel cell?
Do you expect different products in solution when aluminium (III) chloride and potassium chloride treated separately with
(i) alkaline water
(ii) acidified water, and
(iii) normal water. Write equations wherever necessary.
What do you expect the nature of hydrides is, if formed by elements of atomic numbers 15, 19, 23 and 44 with dihydrogen? Compare their behaviour with water.
How can saline hydrides remove traces of water from organic compounds?
