    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.
