In a hydrolysis reaction a salt reacts with water to yield the acid or base: BA + H 2 O â HA + BOH. More specifically, there are four combinations of strong and weak acids and bases:he reaction between a strong acid and a weak base also produces a salt, but water is not usually formed because weak bases tend not to be hydroxides. In this case, the water solvent will react with the cation of the salt to reform the weak base.
Hydrolysis, the opposite of condensation, is  a chemical reaction in which water breaks down another compound and changes its makeup. Most instances of organic hydrolysis combine water with neutral molecules, while inorganic hydrolysis pairs water with ionic molecules, such as acids, salts and bases. Though primarily studied as an aspect of chemistry, hydrolysis performs vital functions in the biology of living organisms.
