This question may sound very easy and silly but what the différence betweed:
Pyrolyse
Electrolyse
Hydrolye
i know one invole fire the other electricity and the third water, but how are they done (i know about electrolyse)

Pyrolysis is done by heating a sample to high temperatures. Electrolysis is done by having a sample (usually an aqueous solution, or a molten salt) complete an electrical circuit (hence, passing electric current through it). Hydrolysis is allowing a sample to react with water.
