Question

Hydrolysis is reverse of neutralization. If true write 1, else write 0.

Answer 1

When acids and bases react with each other, they can form a salt and (usually) water. This is called aneutralization reactionand takes the following form:

HA + BOH → BA + H2O

Depending on the solubility of the salt, it may remain in ionized form in the solution or it may precipitate out of solution. Neutralization reactions usually proceed to completion.

The reverse of the neutralization reaction is called hydrolysis.

In hydrolysis reaction, a salt reacts with water to yield the acid or base:

BA + H2O → HA + BOH

From reactions involved we can observe that hydrolysis is opposite of neutralization.
