Distinguish the following items:
(a) Hydrolysis of salts and electrolysis
(b) Acid strength and acid concentration
(c) Neutralization point and titration end point
This is my homework... But I don't know how to answer them... So anyone can help?

Sounds like you have some general reading to do.
Hydrolysis is speaking of water (hydro...). Dissolve salt in water and the molecules dissociate into sodium ions and chloride ions. Electrolysis is splitting the compound via electrical means, splitting NaCl would give you sodium metal and chlorine gas.
Acid strength speaks to it's ability to dissociate into H+ and X-. Concentration speaks to the number of H+ and X-.
Neutralization is getting to pH7. Not all indicators change color at pH7, so the titration end point is where the color change occurs and is different for all indicators.
