Adding salt to water generally increases its viscosity.

Alkyl groups increase the basicity of amines due to their electron-donating effect.

Atmospheric drag decreases the speed of satellites in low Earth orbit, leading to a gradual decrease in altitude.

Damping causes the amplitude of oscillations to decrease over time due to energy loss.

Damping causes the energy of the oscillating system to decrease over time due to energy loss.

Deforestation increases CO2 levels in the atmosphere as fewer trees are available to absorb carbon dioxide.

The presence of a dielectric material increases the capacitance of a capacitor.

The presence of a dielectric material increases the capacitance of a capacitor.

Diluting a strong acid decreases its concentration, which increases the pH (making it less acidic).

Dilution of a strong acid decreases its concentration, thus increasing the pH.

Dilution of a weak acid decreases its concentration, which shifts the equilibrium to the right, increasing the concentration of H+ ions and thus increasing the pH.

Doping with acceptor impurities creates holes, thus increasing the hole concentration in the semiconductor.

Doping a semiconductor with donor atoms increases the electron concentration, making it n-type.

Doping a semiconductor with trivalent atoms creates p-type semiconductors by introducing holes.

Doping a semiconductor increases its conductivity by introducing additional charge carriers.

Doping increases the conductivity of semiconductors by introducing additional charge carriers.

According to the Biot-Savart Law, the magnetic field strength is inversely proportional to the distance, so doubling the distance halves the magnetic field strength.

Electron-donating groups increase the electron density on the nitrogen atom, thus increasing the basicity of amines.

Electron-withdrawing groups decrease the basicity of amines by reducing the electron density on the nitrogen atom.

Increasing electronegativity difference between two atoms leads to an increase in ionic character of the bond.

Increasing pressure raises the boiling point of a liquid.

Increasing temperature will make ΔG more negative for a reaction with a negative ΔH and positive ΔS, enhancing spontaneity.

For a reaction with ΔH > 0 and ΔS < 0, increasing temperature will make ΔG more positive, thus decreasing spontaneity.

For an exothermic reaction, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left, favoring the reactants.

Increasing temperature generally decreases physisorption because it disrupts the weak van der Waals forces.

The effect of increasing temperature on cell potential depends on the reaction and its enthalpy change.

The effect of temperature on cell potential depends on the reaction and its enthalpy change.

Increasing the temperature of a gas generally decreases its density, as the gas expands.

Generally, the density of liquids decreases with an increase in temperature.

Increasing temperature generally increases the kinetic energy of particles, leading to greater disorder and thus an increase in entropy.
