Question

Why alcohol does not dissociate in water?

Answer 1

All sort of alcohols don't dissolve in water, only those alcohols are soluble which are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water. Because of the strength of the attraction of the OH group, first three alcohols(methanol, ethanol and propanol) are completely miscible. They dissolve in water readily i.e in any amount.

Starting with the four-carbon butanol the solubility of alcohols tends to decrease.

Alcohols with a smaller hydrocarbon chain are very soluble. As the length of the hydrocarbon chain increases, the solubility in water decreases.

Answer 2

when acid dissolve in water it dissociates into ions thus conducts electricity due to presence of ions. But alcohol being a very weak acid does not dissociates into ions and thus it does not conducts electricity.
