Salt hydrolysis is the reverse of
Correct answer: C. Neutralization
- A. Redox reaction
- B. Solvation
- C. Neutralization
- D. Hydration
Explanation
Salt hydrolysis is the process where a salt reacts with water to produce an acid and a base, essentially reversing the neutralization process where an acid and a base combine to form a salt and water. In neutralization, the acid donates protons to the base, forming a salt. In hydrolysis, the salt dissociates in water to reform the acid and base. Option A, Redox reactions, involve electron transfer rather than proton transfer, making it unrelated to salt hydrolysis. Option B, Solvation, refers to the interaction between solute and solvent, not the breakdown of salts. Option D, Hydration, involves the addition of water to a molecule, which is distinct from the decomposition process in hydrolysis.
