The experiment suggests that hydrogen ions in HCl are produced in the presence of water, indicating that the separation of H+ ion from HCl molecules requires water.

Glucose and alcohol solutions do not conduct electricity, indicating that they do not facilitate the flow of electric current and thus are not acidic.
