Some molecular compounds, such as HCl, ionize completely in solution. Some molecular compounds such as HC2H3O2 do not ionize completely when they dissolve in water.
Which explains their solution properties?
HCl and HC2H3O2 have the same effect on the properties of the solution.
HCl lowers the freezing point of water more than HC2H3O2 does.
HCl lowers the boiling point of water more than HC2H3O2 does.

HCl ionizes completely in water, producing more ions in solution, while HC2H3O2 only partially ionizes, resulting in fewer ions in solution. As a result, HCl will have a greater impact on the colligative properties of the solution, such as lowering the freezing point and boiling point of water, compared to HC2H3O2. Therefore, the statement that "HCl lowers the boiling point of water more than HC2H3O2 does" would explain their solution properties.
