__________
__________
» A few drops of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) are added to water Before electrolysis.. Because.
» Water being a covalent components dose not ionises to release H+ and OH- ions.
» Hence it is unable to conduct to electricity well. In order to increase its Conductivity, few drops of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is added to it.
» Sulphuric acid is a strong acid and dissociation completely to release H+ ions.
» These Liberates ions are responsible for the Conduction of electricity.
» However it dose not affects the chemical composition of the product during electrolysis , but speed up the rate of reaction.
» Hence it play the role of catalyst.
