Answer 1

To increase the number of red (H3O+) and blue (A-) particles in the solution of equilibrium, you should:

1. **Increase the initial concentration of the solution** - This would provide more acid, leading to a higher concentration of H3O+ and A- ions at equilibrium.

2. **Increase the strength of the acid** - A stronger acid will dissociate more completely in solution, resulting in a higher concentration of H3O+ and A- ions.

Therefore, the correct choices would be:

- Increase the initial concentration of the solution
- Increase the strength of the acid
