(i) Solutions Y is a stronger acid.
(ii) Strong acid: AN acid which dissociates completely in water and produces a large amount of hydrogen ions are strong acids e.g HCL
Weak acid: An acid which dissociates partially in water and produces small amount of hydrogen ions are weak acids e.g. `CH_3COOH`
