expirt i read on this site “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.”​this is confusing please explain it?

The above statement is correct.. U can take example of H2So4 when it is treated with 1 equivalent of NaOH it forms NaHSo4 so here n factor of H2SO4 is 1 while it`s basicity is 2.. Hope U like it..
