Expert Solution
Writing balanced chemical equation of the reaction

• Aqueous sodium hydroxide on reaction with aqueous hydrofluoric acid gives aqueous sodium fluoride and liquid water. 

 

 

NaOH(aq) + HF(aq)  NaF(aq) + H2O(l) 

 

• This is the balanced chemical equation and there are three steps involved to write net ionic equation for the reaction.
