Solution

In $N {C l}_{3}$ nitrogen and chlorine have similar electronegativities resulting in non-polar bonds. Nitrogen doesn’t have empty d-orbitals so the hydrolysis takes place with the donation of lone pair of electron by nitrogen to the hydrogen atom of water.
$N {C l}_{3} + H_{2} O ⟶ N H_{3} + 3 H O C l$
