Hydrolysis is the interaction of anion or cation of the salt with water to produce an acidic or basic solution. For example:
An aqueous solution of copper sulphate is acidic whereas the aqueous solution of the sodium acetate is basic in character. However, salts of strong acids and strong bases such as sodium chloride form neutral solution. This is due to the fact that a salt on dissolution in water undergoes dissociation to form ions. These ions can interact with water molecules and thereby produce either an acidic or an alkaline solution. This whole process is called hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis is reverse of neutralization. The pH of the solution gets affected by this interaction.
