Condensation vs. Hydrolysis

Condensationnoun

The act or process of condensing or of being condensed

Condensationnoun

The state of being condensed.

Condensationnoun

(physics) The conversion of a gas to a liquid.

Condensationnoun

The condensate so formed.

Condensationnoun

(chemistry) The reaction of two substances with the simultaneous loss of water or other small molecule.

Condensationnoun

The act or process of condensing or of being condensed; the state of being condensed.

Condensationnoun

The act or process of reducing, by depression of temperature or increase of pressure, etc., to another and denser form, as gas to the condition of a liquid or steam to water.

Condensationnoun

A rearrangement or concentration of the different constituents of one or more substances into a distinct and definite compound of greater complexity and molecular weight, often resulting in an increase of density, as the condensation of oxygen into ozone, or of acetone into mesitylene.

Condensationnoun

(psychoanalysis) an unconscious process whereby two ideas or images combine into a single symbol; especially in dreams

Condensationnoun

the process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or solid state

Condensationnoun

atmospheric moisture that has condensed because of cold

Condensationnoun

the process or result of becoming smaller or pressed together;

Condensationnoun

a shortened version of a written work

Condensationnoun

the act of increasing the density of something

Condensationnoun

water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it

Condensationnoun

the conversion of a vapour or gas to a liquid

Condensationnoun

a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, producing a small molecule such as H₂O as a by-product.

Condensationnoun

the fusion of two or more images or ideas into a single composite or new image, as a primary process in unconscious thought exemplified in dreams.

Condensationnoun

a concise version of something, especially a text

Condensation

Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization. The word most often refers to the water cycle.

Hydrolysisnoun

(chemistry) A chemical process of decomposition involving the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion of water.

Hydrolysisnoun

A chemical process causing the splitting of a chemical bond by the addition of the elements of water. Where the bond which is split is not part of a ring structure, this process causes formation of two compounds from one compound plus water, as in the hydrolysis of the ester bonds of fats during saponification.

Hydrolysisnoun

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

Hydrolysis

Hydrolysis (; from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water', and lysis 'to unbind') is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution, elimination, and solvation reactions in which water is the nucleophile.Biological hydrolysis is the cleavage of biomolecules where a water molecule is consumed to effect the separation of a larger molecule into component parts.
