From what I can find...
An electrical current is passed through hydrofluoric acid and potassium fluoride, using a machine made completely out of platinum(it is one of the few elements that doesn't react to fluoride). This causes an ion exchange between the two compounds and produces fluoride.
Fluorine was discovered in the 1500's. Flourine is used to make hydrofluoric acid and hydrofluoric acid was invented in the late 1700's.
Hydrogen reacts with fluorine to form hydrogen fluoride. This can also be hydrofluoric acid if some moisture is present.
The y form hydrofluoric acid.
Hydrofluoric acid has a highly polar covalent bond due to the significant difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and fluorine. Fluorine being more electronegative attracts the shared electron pair toward itself, resulting in a partially negative fluorine atom and a partially positive hydrogen atom.
Elemental fluorine could be obtained from chemical supply companies. But because it is extremely dangerous you would probably need to provide proof that you are a professional chemist.
Hydrofluoric acid is a covalent compound, as it is composed of nonmetal elements (hydrogen and fluorine) which share electrons to form covalent bonds.
Hydrofluoric acid is HF. It is usually aqueous and would thus be H+(aq) F-(aq)
Hyrdofluoric acid has the chemical formula HF. In pure form, it is a gas, but dissolved in water it becomes a weak acid.
When fluorine reacts with water, it forms hydrofluoric acid (HF) and releases oxygen gas. Hydrofluoric acid is a strong acid that can be corrosive and harmful to living organisms, as it can penetrate tissues and affect the functioning of cells. Handling fluorine gas requires careful precaution due to its reactivity and toxicity.
When fluorine reacts with water, it forms hydrofluoric acid (HF) and releases oxygen gas. Hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid that can cause skin burns and is toxic if ingested or inhaled. The reaction is highly exothermic and should be conducted with caution.
Fluorine is not soluble in water because it is a highly reactive gas that readily reacts with water to form hydrofluoric acid.
Fluorine can be sourced from minerals like fluorite (calcium fluoride) and cryolite (sodium aluminum fluoride). It can also be produced through the electrolysis of hydrofluoric acid or through the reaction of hydrofluoric acid with other chemicals. Additionally, fluorine can be found in some groundwater sources.
