WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Mussels need both Ca2+ and CO32- to make their shells. The data showed that the ocean Ca2+ has not changed, so Ca2+ is not the problem.



To determine the CO32- concentration in the ocean, we can use the DIC measurement and the ocean’s pH.


Use the reaction equation above to answer the question on the relationship between pH and CO32- concentration.

Would a decrease in pH mean an increase or decrease in CO32- concentration?

Answer: Decrease

"Carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid, which releases hydrogen ions, reducing pH"

Sourced from https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2008/06/covering-ocean-acidification-chemistry-and-considerations/

So basically the ocean is absorbing the CO32- and that lowers the pH as well lowers the amount of CO32- readily available.

This is all I could find on this subject though ;'(
