Break down a word like hydrolysis:
hydro (water) & lysis (to break).
This is the use of water to dissociate a chemical compound.
Take table salt (sodium chloride, solid), pour some into a glass of water. Slowly, the solid sodium chloride will dissolve, or dissociate into the water.
Afterwards, there will be sodium cations (positively charged) and chloride anions (negatively charge), but they won't be a solid.
Let the water evaporate, and slowly the sodium & chloride will recombine and crystalize as a solid on the bottome & sides of the container.
You know it will happen if you place a water-soluable salt in a container of water. It should begin immediately, but you can watch the process as more and more salt dissolves.

How does the hydrolysis of calcium carbide happen to produce an acetylene gas by means of heat?
When calcium carbide reacts with water, it undergoes hydrolysis to produce calcium hydroxide and acetylene gas. The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. This heat can further increase the rate of hydrolysis and aid in the production of acetylene gas.
What are different type of chemical reaction can happen?
Metathesis, condensation, hydrolysis, free radical polymerization ... how many do you want?
What happen when you put citric or vinegar to boiling sugar with water?
Hydrolysis of sucrose occur: glucose and fructose are formed.
What has to happen for a disaccharide to be absorbed?
Hydrolysis must occur before a disaccharide can be absorbed into the bloodstream. A water molecule is added during this process.
What does Hydrolysis give?
hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose
What is the difference between acidic and alkaline hydrolysis?
Acidic hydrolysis uses an acid to break down chemical compounds, while alkaline hydrolysis uses a base. Acidic hydrolysis typically results in the formation of an acid and alcohol, while alkaline hydrolysis results in a salt and alcohol. The choice between acidic and alkaline hydrolysis depends on the specific compound being treated and the desired reaction products.
Is hydrolysis a chemcial reaction?
Yes, hydrolysis is a chemical reaction.
Is hydrolysis an acid?
Hydrolysis is a process of breaking the bonds in a water molecule into their component gases, hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrolysis is not an acid.
What is another name for hydrolysis?
Another name for hydrolysis is reaction. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction where water reacts with a compound. This produces other compounds.
What is the product of hydrolysis of lactose and sucrose?
Hydrolysis of lactose yields glucose and galactose, while hydrolysis of sucrose yields glucose and fructose.
What is the function of hydrogen in hydrolysis?
Hydrolysis of water produce hydrogen ions.
What is Opposite of a decomposition reaction?
