Question

Why is it important to add dilute sulphuric acid to water during electrolysis of water?

Answer 1

Because adding dilute sulphuric acid makes it slightly acidic, that mesns the water gets impure and thus electricity flows through it easily. In other words, adding sulphuric acid makes water more conductive thus making current flow through it.

Answer 2

We must always pour acids into water.

This can be remembered by P. A.W which means the same.

Actually the concentration of the acts is not known to us and if we suddenly add water into the acid then an explosion may take place or the acids may splash and come to our face.
