(hÄ«drÅl`Ä­sÄ­s) , chemical reaction of a compound with water, usually resulting in the formation of one or more new compounds. The most common hydrolysis occurs when a salt of a weak acid or weak base (or both) is dissolved in water.Water ionizes into negative hydroxyl ions (OH â) and positive hydrogen ions (H +), which become hydrated to form positive hydronium ions (H 3 O +). The salt also breaks up into positive and negative ions.lkaline hydrolysis of esters is irreversible, since it gives an alcohol and a salt of the acid: This process is used extensively in industry to make alcohols and acidsâfor example, in the saponification of fats to make glycerol and salts of higher acyclic acids (soaps).
