HF (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaF (aq) + H₂O (l)
Here's what the equation represents:
* HF (aq): Hydrofluoric acid in an aqueous solution (dissolved in water).
* NaOH (aq): Sodium hydroxide in an aqueous solution.
* NaF (aq): Sodium fluoride, the salt formed from the reaction, also in an aqueous solution.
* H₂O (l): Water, a liquid byproduct of the reaction.
This reaction is a classic acid-base neutralization reaction. The strong base (NaOH) reacts with the weak acid (HF) to form a salt (NaF) and water (H₂O).
