A little confusion; How do you represent hydrolysis in a chemical equation?: by writing H2O or H3O+

1 Answer

Hydrolysis means that it is cleaved with water

Explanation:

A hydrolysis reaction looks like this

C+H2OAH+BOH

This means that a H2O is used to cleave reactant C to form the components AH and BOH. The water is incorporated into fragments A and B that split from C.
