Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is an inorganic compound . Acetic acid or ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak inorganic acid with the common name vinegar. Let us look into their reaction. HF in an aqueous solution produces hydrofluoric acid, a weak acid, unlike other hydrohalides. HF is used in synthetic chemistry, for preparing herbicides, refrigerants etc. … Read more
Hydrogen bromide (HBr) is a colorless inorganic gas and Lead sulfide (PbS) is an inorganic compound. Let us see what happens when these two compounds react. HBr produces hydrobromic acid, stronger than hydrochloric acid (HCl) when dissolved in water. And thus, HBr is highly dissociated in its aqueous solution. HBr is highly corrosive, and it … Read more
