Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 81E
In dilute aqueous solution HF acts as a weak acid. However, pure liquid HF (boiling point = 19.5 °C) is a strong acid. In liquid HF, HNO3 acts like a base and accepts protons. The acidity of liquid HF can be increased by adding one of several inorganic fluorides that ale Lewis acids and accept F- ion (for example, BF3 or SbF5]. Write balanced chemical equations for the reaction of pure HNO3 with pure HF and of pure HF with BF3.

The strongest known acid is fluoroantimonic acid, [H₂F][SbF6]. It is 1016 times more acidic than concentrated sulfuric acid and has a pH of -31.3; it is strong enough
to protonate both xenon and molecular hydrogen. It is an ionic liquid made by reacting hydrogen fluoride with antimony(V) fluoride:
2 HF + SbF5 → H₂F+ + SbF6
Explain why this acid is so strong.
