The process of cleaving a chemical compound by the addition of a molecule of Water.

The interaction of water with a material resulting in decomposition.

Hydrolysis is a reaction where water attacks a part of a molecule, usually breaking it up. An example of hydrolysis is the breaking of the ester linkages to form a soap out of an oil. In this reaction, the ester linkage is broken, releasing an alcohol and an acid.
