Absorbance typically increases as the solution concentration of a substance increases. This is because absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of the absorbing species, as described by the Beer-Lambert Law. As more molecules of the substance are present in the solution, more light is absorbed, leading to higher absorbance readings.
A substance that decreases the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is called a base or alkaline substance. It helps increase the pH of the solution, making it less acidic.
If the concentration of weak bases increases, the pH of the solution will increase. Weak bases accept protons in solution, leading to a decrease in hydrogen ion concentration and an increase in hydroxide ion concentration, which in turn raises the pH.
When citric acid is added, or any acid for that matter, the pH of a substance will decrease. This is because since acids have a low pH they will decrease the pH of other substances when added to it.
Possible factors that can increase the absorbance of phenol in ethanol are: increasing the concentration of phenol in the solution, using a higher path length cuvette for measurement, and selecting a wavelength for measurement where phenol has a higher molar absorptivity coefficient.
If you increase the hydroxide ion concentration, the equilibrium will shift towards the formation of more water molecules. This will result in a decrease in the hydronium ion concentration.
If a solution is diluted, the absorbance will generally decrease. This is because the concentration of the absorbing species is lower in the diluted solution, resulting in fewer molecules to interact with the incident light and therefore lower absorbance.
Yes. An aqueous solution means that at least one solute is dissolved in water. You can increase the concentration by adding more solute, or you can decrease the concentration by adding more water.
To increase the concentration of a solution, you can decrease the amount of solvent by boiling off, or by evaporation, or you can simply add more solute. Conversely, to decrease the concentration, you can add more solvent.

Add more or remove some of the substance from the mixture, or add or remove some other substance from the mixture. Removal is usually more difficult, with heating (distillation or boiling off) or filtration (of a solid) being among the most direct methods.

An increase in temperature will cause an increase in volume, while a decrease in temperature will cause a decrease in volume.
