The balanced chemical equation: NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, the acid- base reaction is a type of chemical reaction between the acid and base to give a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.

In this reaction, a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton to form a conjugate base. Whereas, a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid.

Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid

The acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) signifies the acidic strength of a chemical species.

∵ pKₐ = - log Kₐ

Thus for a strong acid, Kₐ value is large and pKₐ value is small.

pKₐ (HF) = 3.2 → strong acid

pKₐ (NH₃) = 38 → weak acid

The chemical reaction involved in the dissolution process:

NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

In this acid-base reaction, the acid HF reacts with NH₃ base to give the conjugate base HF₂⁻ and conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

HF (acid) donates a proton to form the conjugate base, HF₂⁻ ion. NH₃ (base) accepts a proton to form the conjugate acid.
