Detailed explanation-1: -Some examples of hydrolysis are dissolving a salt of a weak acid or base in water or dissolving sulphuric acid in water where hydronium and bisulfate compounds are produced.
Detailed explanation-2: -The addition of a water molecule breaks a covalent bond between sugar monomers.
Detailed explanation-3: -As the name implies, hydrolysis refers to the addition of a water molecule in order to break up a larger molecule.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrolysis reactions are the reverse of condensation reactions. In a hydrolysis reaction, a larger molecule forms two (or more) smaller molecules and water is consumed as a reactant. Hydrolysis ("hydro” = water and “lysis” = break) involves adding water to one large molecule to break it into multiple smaller molecules.
