Answer #1

a.

NH3(H2O)= NH4 OH ; it dissociate into NH+ and OH- ; HC2H3O2 is weak can not dissociate in to ions

total Ionic equation is :
NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) + HC2H3O2(aq) ….......> H2O(l) + NH4+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq)

both side NH+ is common it will cancel ; then net equation will be

Net Ionic:
OH-(aq) + HC2H3O2(aq) ………………….>    H2O(l) + C2H3O2-(aq)

b. individually these can not dissociate into ions. so they are weak electrolytes.

but when mixed they produce strong electrolyte ammonium acetate.

which produce ions C2H3O2- and NH4+ . due to presence of the ions it is act as a strong electrolyte
