Why does ester need to be cold when hydrolysed?

It is due to two reason !- esters are volatile and may evaporate at higher temperature, 2- at higher temperature it may be converted again into carboxylic acid and alcohol in presence of water.

What is the chemical equation for the hydrolysis of a lipid?

The most common members of the 'lipid family' are triglycerides: plant oil and fats, being 3-fold esters of three molecules of alkanoic (or alk-ene-oic) acids with one molecule of glycerol (1,2,3-propan-tri-ol). When hydrolysed these reactant are freed by de-esterfication called hydrolysis. (Other members of the lipid group are cholesterols, waxes, detergents are differently constituted, but most of them can also be hydrolysed).


CCl4 can not be hydolysed but SiCl4 undergoes hydolysis?

The main reason that CCl4 is not hydrolysed and SiCl4 is hydolysed is because SiCl4 is an ionic compound and CCl4 is a covalent compound.
