Which equation correctly represents the proton-transfer reaction that occurs when fluoride ion is added to pure water? (a) HF+H2O→F−+H3O+HF + H_2O \rightarrow F^- + H_3O^+ (b) 2F−+H2O→2HF+O2−2F^- + H_2O \rightarrow 2HF + O^{2-} (c) F−+H2O→HF+OH−F^- + H_2O \rightarrow HF + OH^- (d) F−+H2O→HF+H3O+F^- + H_2O \rightarrow HF + H_3O^+
