Hydrolysis (/ h aɪ ˈ d r ɒ l ɪ s ɪ s /; from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water' and lysis 'to unbind') is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution , elimination , and solvation reactions in which water is the nucleophile .
Solvation or dissolution is a kinetic process and is quantified by its rate. Solubility quantifies the dynamic equilibrium state achieved when the rate of dissolution equals the rate of precipitation. The consideration of the units makes the distinction clearer. The typical unit for dissolution rate is mol/s.
Dissociation in chemistry is a general process in which molecules (or ionic compounds such as salts, or complexes) separate or split into other things such as atoms, ions, or radicals, usually in a reversible manner.
A broader definition of acid dissociation includes hydrolysis, in which protons are produced by the splitting of water molecules. For example, boric acid (B(OH) 3) produces H 3 O + as if it were a proton donor, [11] but it has been confirmed by Raman spectroscopy that this is due to the hydrolysis equilibrium: [12]
Dissolution (politics), when a state or institution ceases to exist Dissolution of parliament. Dissolution of the Parliament of the United Kingdom; Dissolution (law), any of several events that terminate a legal entity such as a marriage, adoption, corporation, or union; Dissolution of the Monasteries, in England, Wales and Ireland 1536–1541
Aqua ions are subject to hydrolysis. The logarithm of the first hydrolysis constant is proportional to z 2 /r for most aqua ions. The aqua ion is associated, through hydrogen bonding with other water molecules in a secondary solvation shell. Water molecules in the first hydration shell exchange with molecules in the second solvation shell and ...
The rate of dissolution will decrease substantially once it needs to penetrate through the pores of substance A in order to continue targeting substance B. [1] This penetration can often lead to dissolution of substance A, [1] or the product of more than one solute, [10] both unsatisfactory if specific leaching is desired.
Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt in water.The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes.
