Acids

Acids are the species which furnish H+ ions when dissolved in a solvent.

For acids, n-factor is defined as the number of H+ ions replaced by 1 mole of acid in a reaction. Note that the n-factor for acid is not equal to its basicity; i.e. the number of moles of replaceable H+ atoms present in one mole of acid.

For example, n-factor of HCI = 1,

n-factor of HNO3 = 1,

n-factor of H2SO4 = 1 or 2,
