The answer to your above question is:--
______________________
We know , Water is an insulator which means 100% pure water doesn't conduct electricity very well at all. When acid such as sulphuric acid ( H2SO4 ) is added, the compounds separate into seperate ions and having smaller number of ions increases conductivity.This doesn't require an acid . We can use base or as well as any compound. Even normal tap water has enough ions to be a good conductor, which is neccessary to efficiently perform electrolysis.
