2hf + caoh2 = CaF2 + 2H2O

Acid is 'hf' ; hydrofluoric acid

Base is 'caoh2' ; calcium hydroxide.

NB

When writing chemcial formula , single letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. Two letter symbols are always ; first letter is a capital letter and the secons letter is small case. This is the internationally agreed standard. Otherwise confusion reigns.

So 'hf' should be 'HF' (Hydrogen(H) and Fluorine(F)

'caoh"' should be 'Ca(OH)2' ( Calcium (Ca) , Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H)).

The suffix '2' indicates that there are two hydroxide anions, which are shown in brackets. As written by yourself 'caoh2' indicates 1 x calcium , 1 x oxygen and 2 x hydrogen.

Hope that helps for future reference!!!!

2HF = Acid

Ca(OH)2 = Strong base

CaF2= Base

2H2O= Depends on what it is reacting with, water can act as an acid or a base in an equation.

What gas is used up when combustion occurs?

Combustion or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species.In a complete combustion reaction, a compound reacts with an oxidizing element, such as oxygen or fluorine, and the products are compounds of each element in the fuel with the oxidizing element. For example: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH2S + 6F2 → CF4 + 2HF + SF6A simpler example can be seen in the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen, which is a commonly used reaction in rocket engines: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O(g) + heatThe result is water vapor.
