Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand how the addition of sulfuric acid to water produces a conducting solution, we can break down the explanation into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electrolysis**: Electrolysis is a process that uses electricity to break down a substance into its components. In this case, we are looking at the electrolysis of water (H₂O). 2. **Role of Water**: Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity because it has a low concentration of ions. For electrolysis to occur efficiently, we need a solution that can conduct electricity well. ...
