What is the difference between hydrolysis reaction and neutralization reaction.

Hydrolysis= Addition of a water to a molecule to produce two molecules

Neutralization= Reaction between and acid and a base to produce a salt and water.

Explanation:

These are two common reactions but they are very different. Lets see a few examples:

In a hydrolysis we add a water molecule to produce several substances (see figure 1).

In this reaction water () is added in order to "break" the molecule and produce several subtances.

When we have a neutralization reaction, an acid (a subtance that can produce hydronium ions ) reacts with a base (a subtance that can produce hydronium ions ) to produce water an a salt:

In this reaction we an acid ( ) and a base () and this reaction give a salt () and water ().

I hope it helps!
