Now Ion Pairing does not exist in an ideal solution. And that's because in an ideal solution, by definition, all the ions are separated from one another by solvent molecules. So no attraction between two ions exists. So Ion pairing only exists in nonideal conditions. Now, if you want to see why Ion Pairing is important and where it's applied, check out the video below. In that video, I talk about something called boiling point elevation and melting point depression.
