Answer:

HF + H₂O  ⇔ H₃O⁺ + F⁻

Explanation:

Bronsted- Lowery acid:

Bronsted- lowery acid is the specie which have capability to donate the proton.

Bronsted- Lowery conjugate base:

The Bronsted- Lowery conjugate base of Bronsted- Lowery acid is the specie which is formed after when an acid donate the proton.

Bronsted- Lowery base:

Bronsted- lowery base is the specie which have capability to accept the proton.

Bronsted- Lowery conjugate acid:

The Bronsted- Lowery conjugate acid of Bronsted- Lowery base is the specie which is formed after when an base accept the proton.

Chemical equation:

HF + H₂O  ⇔ H₃O⁺ + F⁻

In this equation HF is acted as Bronsted- Lowery acid because it donate the proton to water. water is act as Bronsted- Lowery base. While  F⁻ is the Bronsted- Lowery base and H₃O⁺  Bronsted- Lowery acid.
