Why is the heat evolved in neutrilization of HF is highest |
|
Answer» First of all, Hydrofluoric acid is CALLED a weak acid because its dissociation constant is lower than other "STRONG" acids. Its ionization is not as high as most acids because of the very tight bonding between the H and F. It can give a deceptively high pH, even when it is at high concentration because of the tight bonding between the TWO very small ions. |
