Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction-

Hydrochloric acid(HCl) is the aqueous acid. It is also called muriatic acid. It is a colourless acid with a distinct pungent like odour. 

Hydrofluoric acid(HF) is a highly corrosive acid. It is a colourless solution. 

Water is a universal solvent(H2O). It is used to dilute the concentration of the acids and bases.
