Water is a non-conductor of electricity. It consists almost entirely of molecules. It is a polar covalent compound and can form ions, when traces of Dil. Sulphuric acid is added.As Dil. Sulphuric acid catalyse this ionisation, hence electrolysis of acidified water is considered as an example of catalysis.

Answer:
Electrolysis of acidulated water is considered to be an example of catalysis. Ans. Pure water is almost a non-electrolyte and a polar solvent. It can be electrolytically decomposed by addition of traces of dilute acid which dissociates as ions and help in dissociating water into hydrogen and hydroxide ions.
