Hydrolysis
The chemical process in which water is used to split a substance into smaller molecules. The hydrogen and hydroxyl parts of a water molecule bond to opposite locations on a chemical bond at the site where the split occurs.

Hydrolysis
The chemical reaction between water and a compound usually a salt. The hydroxyl from water combines with a cation from the compound resulting in hydrolysis to form a base. The hydrogen from water reacts with the anion from the compound to form an acid.

Hydrolysis
Chemical weathering process that involves the reaction between mineral ions and the ions of water (OH- and H+), and results in the decomposition of the rock surface by forming new compounds, and by increasing the pH of the solution involve through the release of the hydroxide ions.

Hydrolysis
- Not to be confused with electrolysis
In organic chemistry, hydrolysis can be considered as the reverse or opposite of condensation, a reaction in which two molecular fragments are joined for each water molecule produced. As hydrolysis may be a reversible reaction, condensation and hydrolysis can take place at the same time, with the position of equilibrium determining the amount of each product.
