Common Namehydrofluoric acid
Descriptionhydrofluoric acid, also known as fluoride or [HF], belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as halogen hydrides. These are inorganic compounds in which the heaviest atom bonded to a hydrogen atom is a halogen. It is used as a chemical reagent in several industrial processes such as oil refinery. hydrofluoric acid is a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). hydrofluoric acid is a potentially toxic compound. Hydrofluoric acid exposure is often treated with calcium gluconate, a source of Ca2+ that sequesters the hydrofluoric acid ions. It is a general inhibitor of the energy production system of the cell.
