Asked by Zainab Abdifatah Gududow

mpare the four acetic acid and methanol conductivity measurements. What do they suggest about the bond that attaches the hydrogen atom to the methanol molecule compared to acetic acid?

Liquid= Conductivity

Methanol:

CH3OH (aq) = 0

0.05 M CH3OH (aq)=0

Acetic Acid:

CH3COOH(I)= 0

0.05 M CH3COOH (aq)=265

The addition of H2O to the CH3COOH shows a relatively large increase in conductivity; hence the terminal H of the CH3COOH is more easily broken away (ionized) than the H of the CH3OH. Can't you see that from the measurements?
