Question
what happens if you add more carbon dioxide?chemical reactions of carbon dioxide in seawater and the three carbonate species the reactions produce sea monsters i dont know steady state conditions increased residence time ocean acidification
When more carbon dioxide is added to seawater, it reacts with water to form carbonic acid. This increases the hydrogen - ion concentration in the water, leading to a decrease in pH, which is known as ocean acidification. The reactions of carbon dioxide in seawater also affect the carbonate - bicarbonate equilibrium and the availability of carbonate ions for marine organisms that build shells and skeletons.
