Question

Statement-I : In aq. HF solution, $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$and $\mathrm{F}^{-}$are more likely to be found.\ Statement-II : Hydrogen bonding in HF is stronger than that in $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(a) : Aqueous HF mainly exists as $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$and $\mathrm{F}^{-}$because HF is more acidic than $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$.\
