Question

Why pure acetic acid doesn't counduct electricity?

Answer 1

Acetic acid is a weak elecetrolyte. When 100 molecules of acetic acid dislove in water 96 of the molecules remain intact and 4 of the molecules ionize. This means that the acetic acid is only 4% ionized or dissociated. ... Solutions of weak electrolytes are poor conductors of electricity.Glacial acetic acid does not dissociate enough to be able to conduct electricity. ... Adding water shifts the equilibrium to the right so that more ions are formed and the solution conducts electricity. (Eventually, the acetic acid becomes too dilute and conductivity drops off again.)

Answer 2

Pure acetic acid doesn't disassociate thus,there are no ions so it cannot conduct electricity
