👉 Solvolysis is a term used in the field of chemical engineering to describe a process where a chemical solution containing a solute (a substance that will dissolve into a solvent) is added to an aqueous solution. The addition of this solute causes the water molecules to be displaced from the solvent, creating a hydrophilic environment for the solute to bind and dissolve in the solvent. The term "solvolysis" is often used in combination with the terms "hydrolysis," which
