Q. Statement 1: In the aqueous $HF$ solution, $H _3 O ^{+}$and $F ^{-}$are more likely to be found.
Statement 2: Hydrogen bonding in $HF$ is stronger than that in $H _2 O$.

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

Aqueous $HF$ mainly exists as $H _3 O ^{+}$and $F ^{-}$ because $HF$ is more acidic than $H _2 O$.
