Complete hydrolysis of every bond in the ethyl chains at the end of the diethyl phthalate molecules would result in hydrogen bonding.

Understanding hydrolysis

Understanding hydrolysis Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which H₂O (water molecules) will be decomposed/broken down into H+ (hydrogen) cations and OH⁻ (hydroxide) anions through a chemical process.  This process is generally used to break down certain polymers, especially polymers which are made through a gradual process of polymerization or what is known as step-growth-polymerization.  The term hydrolysis itself comes from the Greek words hydro which means water and lysis which means separation.

In simple terms, hydrolysis is the process of cleavage of chemical bonds with the addition of water.  An example is a process of saccharification of sucrose.  Saccharification is a breakdown of carbohydrates into components of sugar molecules through hydrolysis.  For example, sucrose is broken down into fructose and glucose.  In general, hydrolysis and saccharification are steps in carrying out substance degradation.

A condensation reaction is a hydrolysis reverse reaction in which two molecules combine to become one by removing water molecules during the process.  So that there is a difference between hydrolysis and condensation, that is, in condensation, two types of molecules will unite by removing water, while hydrolysis adds water to break up the combined molecules.  Usually hydrolysis is a chemical process in which water molecules are added to a substance.  Sometimes this addition causes both the substance and the water molecule to split into two parts.  In this reaction, a fragment of the target molecule (or parent molecule) gains a hydrogen ion.
