Answer: A balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction is [tex]\frac{1}{2}H_{2}(g)+\frac{1}{2}F_{2}(g)\rightarrow HF(g)[/tex]
Explanation:
A balanced chemical equation is the equation in which number of reactants equals the number number of products.
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of gaseous hydrogen fluoride is as follows.
[tex]\frac{1}{2}H_{2}(g)+\frac{1}{2}F_{2}(g)\rightarrow HF(g)[/tex]
Here, in this equation half molecule of [tex]H_{2}[/tex] reacts with half molecule of [tex]F_{2}[/tex] to give 1 molecule of HF.
Thus, the sum of number of reactant molecules equals the number of product molecules. Therefore, it is a balanced equation.
Therefore, the equation is [tex]\frac{1}{2}H_{2}(g)+\frac{1}{2}F_{2}(g)\rightarrow HF(g)[/tex]
