What is the purpose of adding dilute hydrogen sulphate while electrolysis of water?

You add electrolytes (i.e. hydrogen sulphate) to increase the electrical conductivity of your solution. This speeds up the charge transport and thus the reaction speed at the electrodes.

What would be the word equation be for adding hydrogen gas and zinc sulfate?
hydrogen + zinc sulphate = No Reaction. This is because hydrogen is lower than zinc in the reactivity series and thus cannot displace it
What is the good substitute for copper sulfate when mixing it with NAOH?
Please indicate the purpose of adding the copper sulphate and resubmit your question.
What is the purpose of adding sodium silicate and sodium sulphate in washing powder?
adding these two compounds serves two purposes. they are: - i) they help the washing powder to remain dry and ii) to maintain the alkalinity of the washing powder
When an electric current passes through water takes place breaking down the compound into hydrogen and oxygen?
Electrolysis of pure water is very slow and not significant; adding an electrolyte (an ionic salt) the electrolysis is a large scale process.
How would you separate lead sulphate from a mixture of lead sulphate and lead chloride?
by adding hot water
How can you get zinc chloride by adding zinc sulphate into sodium chloride?
The reaction is not possible.
When adding aluminum sulphate to swimming pool should the filter be running?
Add the aluminum sulphate to the pool. Run the filter for two hours. Wait overnight to vacuum the bottom of the pool.
What can split water into hydrogen and oxygen?
Materials: 9 volt battery, two number 2 pencils without the eraser and metal part, cup, water, thin piece of cardboard, and two wires, 1 teaspoon salt Instructions: Sharpen the pencils at both ends, 2: cut the cardboard so it fits over the glass, 3: stick the pencils through the cardboard into the glass, 4: dissolve the salt into the water,5: attach both wires to both graphite tips of the pencils, 4: attach the other end of the wires onto the 9 volt battery. Conclusions: You will see bubbles at the tip of the pencils, that is the hydrogen collecting in the water. Hopefully this would help.
What is the process of adding hydrogen to an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat called?
Adding hydrogen to fatty acids is called hydrogenation.
What produces white precipitation when reacted with aqueous barium nitrate?
Adding a solution of Sodium Sulphate to aqueous Barium Nitrate will produce a white precipitate of Barium Sulphate with Sodium Nitrate remaining in solution.
Which substances decrease the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution?
Adding a base the hydrogen concentration decrease.
How does electrolyzers use electrolytes to make water into gas?
Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen gas in a process called electrolysis in which an electric current is passed through water. Pure water conducts electricity very poorly, so adding electrolytes allows a small current to flow through the water easily. Hydrogen and oxygen gas then bubble up from the electrodes in the water.
