5
Synthesis of Kf One way to make potassium fluoride is to react the hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid. The resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization. KOH(aq) + HF(aq) → KF(aq) + H 2 O(l) Also, potassium metal reacts vigorously with all the halogens to form potassium halides. So, it burns with fluorine, F 2, to form potassium(I) fluoride, KF. 2K(s) + F 2 (g) → 2KF(s)

More about Kf… Physical properties Specific gravity2.454 Refractive index1.352 Density2.48 g/cm 3 toxicityCorrosive, Affects respiratory system, heart, skeleton, circulatory system, central nervous system and kidneys. Cause irritation to skin and eyes.
8
More about Kf… Physical properties Electrical conductivity do not conduct electricity in solid state but conduct electricity in solution form Ionic compound SolubilitySoluble in water and liquid hydrogen fluoride Because the energy released due to the solvation of K+ and F- ions by water can compensate for the energy required to break the electrostatic attraction between these ions. insoluble in alcohol
