Step-by-step explanation:

The potassium fluoride will dissociate into potassium ions and fluoride ions in their aqueous solution.

$KF(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+F^-(aq)$

So, when 1 mol of hexaaqua aluminium (III) reacts with 6 moles of fluoride ion it gives 1 mole of hexafluoroaluminate(III).

The reaction is given as:

$Al(H_2O)_6^(3+)(aq)+6F^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons AlF_6^(3-)(aq)+6H_2O(l)$
