Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, and hydrogen fluoride is a weak acid, so sodium fluoride would be weakly basic. read more
NaF is a salt and when dissolved in water produces a basic solution. Explain why NaF is a ‘salt’ and why a solution of NaF would be basic. Include the balanced chemical equation for reaction of fluoride and water to support/illustrate your explanation. read more
Although sodium fluoride is used to fluoridate water and, indeed, is the standard by which other water-fluoridation compounds are gauged, hexafluorosilicic acid (H 2 SiF 6) and its salt sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na 2 SiF 6) are more commonly used additives in the U.S. read more
