Question

Give reasons why few drops of sulphuric acid is added in water during electrolysis of water

Answer 1

Electrolysis of pure water is very slow, and can only occur due to the self-ionization of water. Water is essentially a covalent compound. Its conductivity can be increased by adding electrolytes like acids. Acids dissociate to produce ions which in turn increase conductivity.
