Which one of the following reactions does not come under hydrolysis type reaction?
A
$P_4O_{10(s)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow4H_3PO_{4(aq)}$
B
$SiCl_{4(l)}+2H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow SiO_{2(s)}+4HCl_{(aq)}$
C
$Li_3N_{(s)}+3H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow NH_{3(g)}+3LiOH_{(aq)}$
D
$2F_{2(g)}+2H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow4HF_{(aq)}+O_{2(g)}$
Detailed Solution
Reactions (1), (2) and (3) are all hydrolysis reactions in which water reacts to break bonds of the compound (P-O, Si-Cl, Li-N), forming new O-H/other bonds. Reaction (4), $2F_2+2H_2O\rightarrow4HF+O_2$, is a redox reaction (fluorine displaces oxygen from water; fluorine is reduced and oxygen is oxidised), not a hydrolysis reaction.
