Answer:
HF + OH- = F- + H2O
Explanation:
Since hydrofluoric acid does not ionize in aqueous solution, the fluoride ion is still present as part of the product
Answer:
H+ (aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of hydrofluoric acid = 15.0 mL = 0.015 L
Molarity = 1.25 M
Molarity of KOH = 3.05 M
Step 2: The unbalanced equation
HF(aq) + KOH(aq) → KF(aq) + H2O(l)
This equation is already balanced
Step 3: The net ionic equation
The net ionic equation shows only those elements, compounds, and ions that are directly involved in the chemical reaction.
The elements, compounds, and ions that do not take part in the chemical reaction are called spector ions.
H+ (aq) + F-(aq) + K+(aq) + OH-(aq)→ K+(aq) +F-(aq) + H2O(l)
We'll remove all the spector ions.
H+ (aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)
