To increase the number of red (H₃O⁺) and blue (A⁻) particles in the solution, you could adjust the simulation settings by adding more acid, which will produce more hydrogen ions (H₃O⁺), and introducing a weak acid that partially dissociates, increasing the concentration of blue (A⁻) particles. This would lower the pH of the solution because an increase in H₃O⁺ concentration signifies a more acidic environment, resulting in a decreased pH value.
Use the "My solution mode" simulation to complete the activity.

How could you adjust the settings of the simulation to increase the number of red ( H3O+ ) and blue ( A− ) particles in the solution? In one to two sentences, describe your answer and explain how and why this would change the pH of the solution.
