Answer #1

Answer: The concentration of fluoride ion will decrease and the concentration of hydrogen fluoride will increase. (First option)

When a relatively strong acid is added to a buffer solution containing an acid and base, the hydrogen ion (H+) contributed by strong acid ( here it is HCl ) will react with base (NaF) to form relatively less stronger acid ( HF) so that the net change in pH become less. As a result, concentration of HF ( hydrogen fluoride ) will increase and concentration of fluoride ion will decrease.
