Still, the acceleration of this much heavier Highlander versus the original is noteworthyâa tepid 8.8 seconds to 60 in 2001, 16.7 in the quarter-mile at 84 mph. EPA city mpg ratings for 2001 and 2014 are identical at 18, but the new AWD Highlander enjoys a 2-mpg edge at 24 mpg highway (25 with front drive).
Dehydration Synthesis is the covalent joining of two compounds via the removal of one water molecule between them, an -H from one and an -OH from the other.
Any reaction that combines two monomers in a reaction that generates H 2 O as one of the products is known as a dehydration reaction, so peptide bond formation is an example of a dehydration reaction.
