Yes it will, any acid or base will add ions to the water. I would expect the conductivity to go way up. The TDS is useless if you do that, but I am pretty certain that the silver content will be 100% particulate, and all the conductivity will be from the acid.

Hello Marshall,

When I add ascorbic acid to distilled water my PWT meter goes off of the
charts.

Does the ascorbic acid add ions to the water, or what am I measuring?

Subject: Re: CS>Making 100% colloidal EIS


Here is a link with a picture I just made. It's not very good, I had to
have the room pretty dark with no flash to even see a hint of the
Tyndall in the EIS glass.  From left to right, 15 ppm EIS with a pinch
of ascorbic acid added,  pure15 ppm EIS, distilled water with a pinch of
ascorbic acid added.

Note that the colors are not true. The laser beam is actually red, but
appears yellow because it is so overexposed.  Then the reflection of the
beam off other particles gives the entire left hand glass a red color,
which is really only red because the laser light is red.  The actual
color is more of a yellow if white light comes in from the side, but
somewhat murky due to the large number of particles.  Viewing on a white
background and illuminated from the rear it is more bluish.
