When methanol CH3OH is dissolved in water a nonconducting solution results. When acetic acid CH3COOH dissolves in water the solution is weakly conducting and acidic in nature.?

Methanol does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, making it a nonconducting solution. Acetic acid, on the other hand, partially dissociates into ions in water, forming H+ ions which conduct electricity and contribute to the solution's acidity.
