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?
