Hydratointireaktio
Hydratointireaktio, or hydration reaction in English, is a chemical reaction where a substance combines with water. This process is common in various fields, including chemistry, geology, and biology. In chemistry, hydration often involves the addition of a water molecule across a double or triple bond in an organic molecule, or the reaction of a metal oxide or nonmetal oxide with water to form an acid or a base. For example, the reaction of sodium oxide with water produces sodium hydroxide, a strong base. Similarly, sulfur trioxide reacts with water to form sulfuric acid, a strong acid.
In geology, hydration plays a significant role in the weathering of rocks and minerals. Many minerals, when
Biological hydration reactions are crucial for life. Enzymes facilitate many hydration reactions within living organisms, such
