Answer:
Hydrochloric acid is more stronger than ethanoic acid.
Reason;
The strength of an acid tells us how much an acid ionises. Ethanoic acid has a lower concentration of H + ions than the same concentration of hydrochloric .Hydrocholoric acid is a strong acid-all of the acid molecules will release their protons into a solution, making it very acidic. Ethanoic acid, on the other hand, is a weak acid-it will only donate some of its hydrogen ions into a solution, making it less acidic than hydrochloric acid solution.
