Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Hydrolysis means to ____
A
(remove water) (put together)
B
(remove water) (break apart)
C
(add water) (put together)
D
(add water) (break apart)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Literally, hydrolysis implies water reaction. It is a chemical mechanism in which, by adding a molecule of water, a molecule is broken into two pieces. As a salt with a weak acid or weak base (or both) is dissolved in water, the most common hydrolysis happens.

Detailed explanation-2: -Industrial Organic Chemistry In fact, Hydrolysis can be the reverse of a condensation reaction in which two molecules join together into a larger one and eject a water molecule. Thus hydrolysis adds water to break down, whereas condensation builds up by removing water.

Detailed explanation-3: -: a chemical process of decomposition involving the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion of water. hydrolytic.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
