    A) \[HCl\]                                 

    B) \[HF\]

    C) \[HI\]                                   

    D) \[HBr\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Hydrofluoric acid (HF) reacts with glass sodium and calcium silicate and greasy fluorosilicates are formed. It is called etching of glass, so HF is not stored in glass vessels. \[N{{a}_{2}}Si{{O}_{3}}+6HF\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}_{2}}Si{{F}_{6}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[C{{a}_{2}}Si{{O}_{3}}+6HF\xrightarrow{{}}CaSi{{F}_{6}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\]
