I'm given these problems but I'm lost when it comes to determining whether it's a strong, weak or nonelectrolye.

HClO4
HNO3
NH4Cl
CH3COCH3
CoSO4
C12H22O11

How do I determine?

Strong acids you have to remember, there is just a few of them. Then identify salts, after that usually what is left is a non electrolyte.

Strong electrolytes are strongly ionized and dissociates completely in water.

Strong acids (such as Nitric acid, Sulfuric acid, Hydrochloric acid...), strong bases (such as Sodium Hydroxide), and salts (there are exceptions--you could research on that) are strong electrolytes.

Weak electrolytes includes weak acids (such as acetic acid, carbonic acid...) and bases (example: ammonia).

Nonelectrolytes are not ionized. Example: water, sugar, etc.

Hope this helps.
