Question

Hydrolysis of BCL3 gives B(OH)3 while NCl3 gives NH3 why

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrolysis is the process of using water to break down a molecule into two parts. The prefix 'hydro-' means water, while the suffix '-lysis' means to break down. Hence, if we see the word hydrolysis we can automatically think of the term, 'reaction with water.'
