Answer:

HF(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaF(aq)+H2O(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

Dissolved hydrofluoric acid reacts with dissolved sodium hydroxide to form water and aqueous sodium fluoride. What is the net ionic equation

Equilibrium equation between the undissociated acid and the dissociated ions

HF(aq)⇌H+(aq)+F−(aq)

Sodium hydroxide will dissociate aqueous solution to produce sodium cations, Na+, and hydroxide anions, OH−

NaOH(aq)→Na+(aq)+OH−(aq)

Hydroxide anions and the hydrogen cations will neutralize each other to produce water.

H+(aq)+OH−(aq)→H2O(l)

On combining both the equation, we get –

HF(aq)+Na+(aq)+OH−(aq)→Na+(aq)+F−(aq)+H2O(l)

The Final equation is

HF(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaF(aq)+H2O(l)
