Question

why pure acetic acid does not conduct electricity

Answer 1

pure acitic acid is a very weak acid.it has very low H+ ions.so it doesnt conduct electricity

Answer 2

Answer :

Pure acetic acid does not conduct electricity because pure acetic acid cannot dissociate into hydronium ion and acetate ions which are required for the conduction of electricity.

Note: On the other hand, acetic acid in water dissociates into hydronium ion and acetate ions for the conduction of electricity.
