HF is less reactive due to the very strong bond between hydrogen and a halogen (Florine) which doesn't dissociates easily. A strong bond does not allow this acid to react easily.
The reactivity of halogen acidsincrease as the size of halogen atom increases down the group. And the inertness increases as we move to top from bottom in a group of halogens.
HCl is more reactant than HF due to the large size of Cl atom and due to the large size of Cl atom, the bond between H and Cl is weak so it dissociates easily. This makes it more reactive.
The reactivity of halogen acids is:
HF

What is true about a solution of 1.0 M HF?
HF has a higher [OH-] than a solution of 1.0 M HCl.
HF HCl boiling temperature?
Boiling point of HCl: -85,1 0C. Boiling point of HF: 19,5 0C.
Why hf is less viscous than h2o?
Due to strong H-bonding in H20 than HF.That is why HF IS LESS VISCOUS
HBr is a stronger acid than HCl?
Yes but insignificant for practical use. Hydrogen iodide ( HI ) is even stronger! and HF is a significantly weaker acid than HCl.
Which element is the most reactive of Hf Cs Ba or Lu?
Caesium is the most reactive.

What is the chemical Formula of hydroflouric acid?
The chemical formula for Hydroflouric acid is HF It is not a very reactive acid but Fluorine,which is in this acid is very reactive
Why HF less viscous than water?
due to more h-bonding in water as compared to Hf
Why HF is less viscous than water?
due to more h-bonding in water as compared to Hf
Which is least polar HF HBr HCl or Hbr?
HBr
Why the size of HF is greater than HCL?
Chlorine (Cl) holds it's electrons much closer, reducing it's overall diameter. It is then able to hold the Hydrogen much closer. This is a common chemistry question that can be very frustrating for students because of it's ambiguity; it's asking about diameter, NOT mass. You could answer that HCl is bigger in mass and be correct only for mass. HCl is more massive, yet HF is more voluminous.
What is chemical equation when a strong acid is added to a buffer solution containing NaF and HF?
HCl + NaF -> HF + NaCl
