Assuming you are talking about acetic acid,
CH3COOH.
Reason : It acts as an Electrolyte.
Explanation :
1) As shown in pic, an equilibrium will be established between it's ions and acetic acid.
2) These ions are mobile and move freely in Aqueous solution of it.
3) These ions help in the conduction of electric current.
4) Vinegar (Acetic acid) being an acid and electrolyte as its Aqueous solution contain ions can conduct an electric current.
