The six strong acids that you should remember are
$H C l$ $HCl$
$H B r$ $HBr$
$H I$ $HI$
$H_{2} S O_{4}$ $H_2SO_4$
$H N O_{3}$ $HNO_3$
$H C l O_{4}$ $HClO_4$
Any other acid that you see you can consider a weak acid.

For strong bases, any hydroxide ( $O H^{-}$ $OH^-$ ) is considered strong. The base has better solubility if it is in a 1:1 ratio with the metal that it is bonded to.

For example, $C a {(O H)}_{2}$ $Ca(OH)_2$ is not as soluble as $N a O H$ $NaOH$ .
