Change hydrofluoric acid to a salt?

Answer 1

Hydrogen Fluoride can be changed to a salt by reacting it with a neutralizing agent such as Soda Ash (forming a sodium fluoride salt) or a caustic such as Potassium Hydroxide (to form potassium fluoride). Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) or hydrofluoric acid has unique properties that can present special handling hazards. It should only be handled by people with special training in the properties of HF and the first aid and medical procedures for exposure. Special protective clothing should be worn.

Answer 2

To change hydrofluoric acid into a salt, it needs to react with a base. For example, reacting hydrofluoric acid (HF) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will form sodium fluoride (NaF), which is a salt. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: HF + NaOH -> NaF + H2O.
