The number of acidic hydrogens can be known from its structure. The number of hydrogen atoms attached to oxygen in an acid are the replaceable hydrogens.
Ex: Sulphuric acid and Nitric acid.
In Sulphuric acid there are two hydrogen atoms attached to two oxygen atoms, so it has two replaceable hydrogen atoms.
In Nitric acid there is one hydrogen atom attached to one oxygen atom, so it has one replaceable hydrogen atom.

Heya!
Hydrogen is very important in acid-base reactions in which many of these reactions involve the exchange of protons between dissolved molecules.
Hence, hydrogen is the only neutral atom whose Schrödinger equation can be solved analytically.
I hope this helps
