Want this question answered?
To make it a better conductor.
No
The water turns yellow during the experiment due to the decomposition of the electrolyte. First off, which acid did you use? In my case, i used sulfuric acid. The water turns yellow when some of it starts to decompose. Hope that helped :)
The solution gets hot
When lithium hydroxide pellets are added to a solution of sulfuric acid Lithium Sulfate and water are formed. The balanced equation is 2LiOH + H2SO4 ------> Li2SO4 + 2H2O

No
Adding sulfuric acid to water is the recommended way of working to avoid accidents.

when electricity is passed through water using electrolysis, it will decompose to form hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) atoms
Sulfuric acid is added in pools to control the pH of the water; many specialists don't recommend the use of H2SO4.
As one molecule of water is composed of two atoms of Hydrogen to one atom of oxygen electrolysis of water should produce twice as much Hydrogen as it does Oxygen.

This is because the addition of sulfuric acid - 1. Doesn't change the composition of the electrolyte, 2. Alters the rate of the reaction. (fuels it, more like)
yes. hydrogen and oxygen gas will be evolved
