Question

to carry out the so-called electrolysis of water sulphuric acid is added to water .

how does the addition of sulphuric acid produce a conducting solution?

Answer 1

To carry out the so called "electrolysis of water", sulphuric acid is added to water. ...Sulphuric acid helps in dissociating water into hydrogen and hydroxide ions in water

Answer 2

the addition of sulphuric acid in water leads to the production of H3O+ ions which are freely ready to react in the solution. Thus more availability of free particles leads to faster flow of electricity. Thus acidic water conducts electricity at a faster rate.

Hope this helps!
