Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) will react with the surface of the aluminum and convert the aluminum oxide to aluminum fluoride. Water (H2O) is produced as a byproduct. In this way the HF works as a polishing agent to make the aluminum "shiny" again. Depending on the concentrationof the HF, the contact time, and temperature, the HF can continue to react with the aluminum and corrode it.

hydrofluoric acid Is a solution of hydrogen fluoride gas. Fluorine is the first halogen in group 17 of the periodic table. It is not a halogenated solvent. CF4 (carbon tetrafluoride) is a low temperature halogenated refrigerant and a powerfull greenhouse gas
What is the name of an aqueous solution of HF?
The name of HF in solution is hydrofluoric acid.
How many atoms does hydrofluoric acid have?
The hydrofluoric acid (HF) has two atoms.
What formula represent hydrofluoric acid?
Hydrofluoric acid is a water solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF).
Is hydrofluoric acid a strong acid or weak acid?
Since hydrofluoric acid does not easily dissociate (in aqueous solution) to liberate protons, it is a weak acid.
Is Hydrogen fluoride anhydrous the same as Hydrofluoric Acid?
No. Hydrofluoric acid is aqueous hydrogen fluoride (dissolved in water). Hydrogen fluoride will form hydrofluoric acid when it comes in contact with water.

Yes. HF is an Acid and NaF is a base they both share the common ion effect.
What is the Difference between hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid?
Hydrofluoric acid is hydrogen fluoride dissolved in water.
What property prevents hydrofluoric acid from being stored in glass?
Hydrofluoric acid easily react with glass.
