Question

what is hydrolysis?​

hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. Sometimes this addition causes both substance and water molecule to split into two parts. In such reactions, one fragment of the target molecule (or parent molecule) gains a hydrogen ion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer

Hydrolysis:- Addition of water(H20) to a reaction to carry out further process to break down the molecule as H20 is amphoteric in nature( act as acid as well Base) so it's also used as reagent.

or

Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers and is the opposite of dehydration synthesis, which forms water when synthesizing a polymer from monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
