Explanation:
As we know that pure water cannot conduct the electricity
If we add salt or acid to the water then it will acts as an electrolyte catalyst and then the water will be able to conduct the electricity
♥ Here both salt and acid are soluble in water ♥
Water + soluble electrolyte ---> conductivity of the water increases
