What is the difference between basicity and basic character?

basicity is the number of replaceable hydrogen ions in the acid molecule.
it is always the same. for example sulphuric acid has two such ions hence Basicity is two.
strength can be expressed in terms of normality, molarity, molality.
it is dependent on the molecular weight of the solute(acid molecule) and its weight in the solution. more the value of either of the above, then the strength of acid will be more.
or its hammett function, lesser the value more stronger its ability to lose the hydrogen ions and more acidic.
ex: 10 N sulpuric acid is stronger than 1 N sulphuric acid( hammett function - 3)
but its not stronger than 10 N fluorosulphuric acid.( hammett function -11)
hope it helps

what about basic character?
Hey, did you just copy and paste that answer from google
☹ sad

Answer:
The basicity of an acid is the number of H+ ions it can furnish in solution. Example: basicity of HCl is 1. Basicity of H3PO4 is 3. The basic character of a compound is its ability to act as a base.
