About Hydrofluoric Acid 48% Solution (48-51%), ACS Reagent Grade
Hydrofluoric Acid, is the aqueous solution of Hydrogen Fluoride. Fluorine is the only halogen that does not form a strong acid, due in part to the electronegativity and small size of the fluorine atom which results in stronger bond formation between fluorine and hydrogen. Lab Alley’s Hydrofluoric Acid, 48% Solution contains 40-60% by weight of Hydrogen Fluoride in 40-60% by weight of Water. The ACS Grade is generally equivalent to the Reagent Grade and is acceptable for use in analytical applications and research laboratories.
