Answer

Option C.

Explanation

The given dissociation of HF is shown below:

HF(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)

Hence, the equation for the acid dissociation constant Kₐ, of HF will be:

[tex]K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][F^-]}{[HF]}[/tex]

The reason that water (H₂O) does not appear in Ka is that the activity of water is assumed to be very nearly equal to 1.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
