Pure water is a non conductor of electricity and allows no electrolysis of its own. Adding acid dissociate water into ions since it is polar covalent, hence ionization helps in conducting electricity. This process is called catalysis as acid is a catalyst.

Answer 2

Explanation:

sulphuric acid is mixed water to introduce ions in it so the conductance of the water increases which make the reaction faster. ... However it does not affect the chemical composition of the reactant or products, it only increases the speed of the reaction
