Hydrofluoric acid - Wikipedia
WEBHydrofluoric acid is a solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) in water. Solutions of HF are colorless, acidic and highly corrosive. A common concentration is 49% (48-52%) but there are also stronger solutions (e.g. 70%) and pure HF has a …
CDC | Facts About Hydrogen Fluoride (Hydrofluoric Acid)
WEBWhen hydrogen fluoride is dissolved in water, it may be called hydrofluoric acid. Hydrogen fluoride can be released when other fluoride-containing compounds such as ammonium fluoride are combined with water.

Hydrofluoric Acid - Environment, Health and Safety
WEBHydrofluoric Acid. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) differs from other acids because it readily penetrates the skin and dissociates into fluoride ions, causing destruction of deep tissue layers, including bone. Pain associated with skin exposure to …
Hydrogen fluoride - Wikipedia
WEBIn general, anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is more common industrially than its aqueous solution, hydrofluoric acid. Its main uses, on a tonnage basis, are as a precursor to organofluorine compounds and a precursor to cryolite for the electrolysis of aluminium.
Hydrofluoric Acid | Formula, Properties & Application
WEBHydrofluoric acid (HF) is a solution of hydrogen fluoride in water. The compound is a vital chemical reagent and industrial chemical, primarily used in the manufacturing of various commercial products.
Is Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) a Strong or Weak Acid? - ThoughtCo
WEBDec 1, 2019 · Hydrofluoric acid is a much stronger acid when it is concentrated than when it is diluted. As the concentration of hydrofluoric acid approaches 100 percent, it's acidity increases because of homoassociation, where a base and conjugate acid form a bond: 3 HF ⇆ H 2 F + + HF 2-.
Hydrofluoric Acid - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBHydrofluoric acid is a solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) in water and is a precursor to almost all fluorine compounds. It is a colorless solution that is highly corrosive, capable of dissolving many materials, especially oxide and its ability to dissolve glass has been known since the 17th century.
Hydrofluoric Acid: Burns and Systemic Toxicity, Protective …
WEBNov 11, 2018 · Hydrofluoric acid is characterised by its corrosiveness and high local and systemic toxicity. At room temperature (20°C), it has a strong acidic pH-value of 2.0 [ 27 ]. However, the devastating effects are not based on the low pH value, but on the toxicity of this acid [ 9 ], [ 21 ], [ 22 ].
