The correct statement about hydrochloric acid and acetic acid is that hydrochloric acid (HCl) completely dissociates in water, releasing all of its hydrogen ions (H⁺), whereas acetic acid (CH₃COOH) only partially dissociates, resulting in a lower concentration of hydrogen ions in solution. This means that hydrochloric acid has a much higher acidity compared to acetic acid.
