Acids dissociate to produce ions which in turn increase conductivity. ... Adding an acid makes the water conduct electricity. Assuming that distilled water is being in the experiment, which is a non conductor of electricity we need to make the water conduct electricity for electrolysis to occur. Hence the acid is added
