CO2 dissolves into the sea to form carbonic acid. Acids lower the pH of the ocean and dissolve coral. This is bad.

dude you are so cool. my chem teacher was on paternity leave for four months this school year, ended up having to self study paper 3. you presented everything in succinct ways that made sense, and I am SO appreciative. exam in two days but we ride. thank you!

What happens to the position of equilibrium when the concentration of carbodioxide in water is increased..?

Hi, I am wondering why the concentration of CO2 gas increases will force CO2 into the sea. According to the knowledge we learnt in Chapter 7 (Equilibrium), the increase of concentration shifts equilibrium to the side with fewer moles of solute. However, in the CO2 gas to CO2 aq process, we don't know which side has fewer moles, therefore why CO2 in water increases?
