KF is a strong electrolyte, and HF is a weak electrolyte. How is the solution of KF different from that of HF?

Only a small portion of molecules ionize in a weak electrolyte while strong electrolytes ionize almost completely.

The strong electrolyte KF completely dissociates into K+ and F- ions when it dissolves in water. When the weak electrolyte HF dissolves in water, there are a few ions of H+ and F- present, but mostly dissolved HF molecules
