Sulphuric acid is stronger than ethanoic acid.
Ethanoic is commonly known as acetic acid.
But, there's a dispute about the strength of acids.
According to Wikipedia the following is the correct series:
(from strongest to weakest)
* Fluoroantimonic acid
* Magic acid
* Carborane superacid
* Fluorosulfuric acid
* Triflic acid
* Perchloric acid
* Hydroiodic acid
* Hydrobromic acid
* Hydrochloric acid
* Sulphuric acid
* Nitric acid
* Hydronium ion

This budy got it wrong.... Nitric Acid is the strongest, then Sulphuric Acid and then Hydrochloric acid. Therefore if u compare ethanoic acid and sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid is more stronger on the pH scale.

Hydrochloric acid isthe strongest, then sulphuric, nitric, phosphoric. Acetic acid is the transition to weak acids. All other acids are considered weak. (I think?)
