Answer

a) H₂O : nonelectroyte b) KCl : strong electrolyte c) HNO₃ : strong electrolyte d) CH₃COOH : weak electrolyte e) C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (sucrose): nonelectrolyte

Work Step by Step

a) H₂O : Practically, there are no ions in pure water, so it is a nonelectroyte. b) KCl : It dissociates completely in water, so it is a strong electrolyte. c) HNO₃ : It is a strong acid and dissociates completely in water, so it is a strong electrolyte. d) CH₃COOH : It is a weak acid and dissociates partially in water, so it is a weak electrolyte e) C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (sucrose): When sugar dissolves in water, it gives sucrose molecules, so it is a nonelectrolyte.
