What You Need To Learn About Hydrolysis
What is Hydrolysis?
Hydrolysis is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water ruptures one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution, elimination, and fragmentation reactions in which water is the nucleophile.

Hydrolysis System to Neutralize Toxic Chemicals
The safe destruction of toxic chemicals, including chemical weapons, has been an ongoing effort for many years — getting a boost with the ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty in 1997. In the United States, permanent facilities have been built in several locations to dispose of these compounds. However, toxic chemical stores and dumps are located in many countries around the world where permanent facilities are often impractical, if not impossible, to build and maintain.

Hydrolysis: Definition, Reaction, Equation & Example
Hydrolysis is quite useful in both biology and chemistry. Biological applications range from breaking sugar molecules down in our body to participating in the release of stored energy from ATP.

3 Common Types of Hydrolysis
- Salts: Hydrolysis occurs when salt from a weak base or acid dissolves in liquid. When this occurs, water spontaneously ionizes into hydroxide anions and hydronium cations. This is the most common type of hydrolysis.
- Acid: Water can act as an acid or a base, according to the Bronsted-Lowry acid theory. In this case, the water molecule would give away a proton. Perhaps the oldest commercially-practiced example of this type of hydrolysis is saponification, the formation of soap.
- Base: This reaction is very similar to the hydrolysis for base dissociation. Again, on a practical note, a base that often dissociates in water is ammonia.
