Global warming question help?
1 of answerers pretty correct.
hypothesis of effect of atmospheric co2 level on ocean ph based on equilibrium
co2(g) + h2o(l) ↔ h+(aq) + hco3^-(aq)
according le chatlier's principle, increasing amount of reactant on left side of equation drive reaction right, co2 level rises, more h+ , hco3^- generated in ocean, , increase in h+ results in decrease in ocean ph.
what connection between decrease ph level of oceans , increase atmospheric co2+warmer temperatures?
thanks<3
