Is BaF2 a strong acid or base?
Barium fluoride can be considered to be the salt of barium hydroxide (a weak base) and HF (a strong acid). And a solution of BaF2 will be weakly acidic.
What is the name of the conjugate base found in HF?
The conjugate base of HF is the fluoride ion F-
Is HF and H a conjugate acid base pair?
No
Why hf is less viscous than h2o?
Due to strong H-bonding in H20 than HF.That is why HF IS LESS VISCOUS
Is hf a base or acid?
A strong acid. (not as strong as HCl though, because of flourine's electronegativity) it dissociates, into F- and H+ ions. and these H+ ions make it acidic.

Is HF and acid base or salt?
HF is a weak acid.

What is chemical equation when a strong acid is added to a buffer solution containing NaF and HF?
HCl + NaF -> HF + NaCl
What is the conjugate base for hf?
The fluoride ion, F-.
Is HF and H a conjugate acid base pair?
No
Why is KSCN neutral while NaF is basic despite the fact that HSCN is a weaker acid than HF?
HSCN is not a weaker acid than HF. The Ka for HSCN is approximately 1.2x10^-1 and that for HF is approximately 7x10^-4, making HSCN considerably stronger than HF. In fact, a solution of KSCN would have a pH very slightly above 7.0, but close to neutral because it is almost a strong acid. A solution of NaF will have a pH that is basic because it is the salt of a strong base and a weak acid.

What is the formula for one common acid and base?
HCl is hydrochloric acid HI is hydroiodic acid HF is hydrofluoric acid H2SO4 is sulfuric acid HNO3 is nitric acid HBr is hydrobromic acid HClO4 is perchloric acid
What is the between a strong base and a weak base?
A "strong" acid (or base) is one that dissociates completely in dilute aqueous solution. One which does not is a "weak" acid (or base). An acid with a pKa (or a base with a pKb) lower than about -2 is considered to be a "strong" acid.Weak acids and bases can still be quite corrosive. HF is a "weak" acid with a pKa of around 3.2 (which corresponds to only about one molecule out of every 38 or so being dissociated), but it's pretty terrible stuff and will dissolve even glass.
Why HF is a weaker acid then HCl?
in hf there is present strong hydrogen bonding and hydrogen being partially positive is entrapped with two stong partailly electronegative ions.
