What is the difference between hydrolysis and hydration?

Open in App

Solution

Hydrolysis
Hydration
Hydrolysis is an example of a decomposition reaction. This is because water is one of the reactants in this reaction and water is known to break the chemical bond in the other reactants. Hydration is the chemical process in which a water molecule is attached to another substance.
Bond cleavage takes place in the process of hydrolysis. Bond cleavage takes place in an organic compound, but no cleavage takes place in inorganic compounds.
The formation of saturated compounds occurs from unsaturated compounds. The formation of hydrated compounds occurs from dehydrated compounds
