Do acids produce ions only in an aqueous solution? Give reasons for your answer.
$$\bf{Concept-}$$
Mostly all of the acids form hydrogen ions and conjugate bases when dissolved in water.
$$\bf{Explanation-}$$
Acids dissociate in water or aqueous solutions to form ions. These are responsible for the conduction of electricity. Acids don't dissociate hydrogen ions in absence of water. Therefore, we can say that acids produce ions only in aqueous solutions.
