BASICITY
Basicity of acid is defined as the no of ionizable hydrogen (H+) ions present in one molecule of an acid is called basicity.
For example:
HCl (aq)  H+ + Cl- : Basicity = 1
H2SO4(aq)  2H+ + HSO4- : Basicity = 2
ACID                                                                                                  BASICITY 
  • HCl, HNO3                                                                           1
  • CH3COOH                                                                           1
  • H2SO4                                                                                  2
  • Oxalic acid                                                                             2
ACIDITY
Acidity of base is defined as the no of ionizable hydrogen ions (OH-) present in one molecule of a base is called acidity.
NaOH(aq) Na+ + OH- : Acidity = 1

PH SCALE
Meaning of pH:
The symbol pH stands for "power of hydrogen ion" .pH scale is used to describe the acidic or basic nature of a solution.
DEFINITION
pH is defined as "the negative logarithm to the base 10 of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions (H+).
Formula :
pH = -log [H+]
POH
Meaning of pOH:
The symbol POH stands for "power of hydroxyl ion"
DEFINITION
pOH is defined as "the negative logarithm to the base 10 of molar concentration of hydroxyl ions (OH-).
Formula :
pOH = -log [OH-]
IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. Values of pH scale ranges from zero to fourteen.
                    pH scale: 0(strong acidic)_ _ _ _ _ _ _7(neutral)_ _ _ _ _ _ _14 (strong alkaline)
2. If pH of a solution is less than ‘7’ then it is acidic.

3. If pH of a solution is greater than ‘7’ then it is alkaline.

4. If pH is ‘7’ then the solution is neutral.

5. The sum of pH & POH of a solution is equal to 14.

PH + POH = 14

  PH OF DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES:
   Apple : 2.9-3.3
   pure water : 7
   butter : 6.1-6.4
   milk : 6.3-6.6
   wheat flour : 5.5-6.5
   cola : 3
   dates : 6.2-6.4
   tomato juice : 4.
STRONG ACID
An acid which ionize in aqueous solution to large extent is called "strong acid".
   Example: HCl, H2SO4, HNO3
WEAK ACID
SALT - TITRATION   An acid which ionizes in aqueous solution to smaller extent, is called "weak acid".
   Example: CH3COOH, oxalic acid (COOH-COOH), formic acid (HCOOH).
HYDROLYSIS
   Reaction of a substance with water in which pH of water is changed is called "Hydrolysis". In hydrolysis bond    between H and O in water are broken down. Hydrolysis is reverse reaction of neutralization.
 
NH4Cl + H2O ➜    NH4OH + HCl
TYPES OF SALT
   There are three types of salts
   (1) Acidic salt.
   (2) Basic salt.
   (3) Neutral salt.
ACIDIC SALT

   Salt formed by the reaction between strong acid and weak base is called "Acidic salt"
.  Example: NH4Cl, CuSO4
weak base + strong acid ➜    acidic salt + water
NH4OH + HCl ➜    NH4Cl + H2O
BASIC SALT
  Salt formed by the reaction between strong base and weak acid is called " basic salt".
.  Example: CH3COONa, Na2S
strong base + weak acid ➜    basic salt + water
2NaOH + H2CO3 ➜     Na2CO3 + 2H2O
NEUTRAL SALT
 Salt formed by the reaction between strong acid and strong base is called "neutral salt".
   Example: NaCl, KNO3
strong base +strong acid ➜    neutral salt + water
NaOH + HCl ➜    NaCl + H2O
