Planning Document Question Check-In
My issue:
Ocean acidification is a complex process that has severe implications for our planet. It occurs
when carbon dioxide is absorbed by seawater, which then reacts with water molecules to form
carbonic acid. This reaction leads to a decrease in the concentration of carbonate ions in the
ocean, making it difficult for marine organisms such as corals, mollusks, and plankton to form
their shells and skeletons (Ocean Acidification, n.d). The reduction in carbonate ions has a ripple
effect throughout the entire marine ecosystem. This is because these organisms are the
foundation of the ocean's food chain. If they are unable to form their shells and skeletons, they
become more vulnerable to predation and are unable to provide food for larger organisms. As a
result, the entire food chain is disrupted, and entire ecosystems can collapse.
Ocean acidification is primarily caused by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels,
deforestation, and industrial processes. As the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
continues to increase, so does the absorption of this gas by seawater, leading to a further decrease
in pH levels. Given the severity of the problem, we must take steps to mitigate the effects of
ocean acidification. This could include reducing carbon emissions, investing in renewable energy
sources, and promoting sustainable practices. By taking action now, we can help preserve the
health and biodiversity of our oceans for generations to come.
My question:
Over time, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has consistently risen. Therefore, my
research question would be: What specific impacts is this phenomenon having on these
environments?

Given that Earth’s oceans are exposed to atmospheric carbon dioxide, what effect might the increased CO2 be having on the pH of the world’s oceans? What effect might this change be having on the limestone structures (primarily CaCO3) of coral reefs and marine shells?

3. Increased levels of hydrogen ions in seawater combine with carbonate ions and therefore help in making stronger shells of marine organisms.

Over the past 250 years, the average upper-ocean pH near the Pacific Northwest has decreased by about 0.1 units, from about 8.2 to 8.1. This drop in pH corresponds to an increase in acidity of about 30%. When CO2 levels in seawater rise, the availability of carbonate ion, CO32−, makes it more difficult for marine organisms to build and maintain shells and other body parts from calcium carbonate.
Calculate H3O+ and OH− concentrations at pH levels of 8.2 and 8.1.
Demonstrate by calculations that this decrease in pH corresponds to an increase in acidity of about 30%.
Explain the relationship between the pH of seawater and the availability of carbonate ions. Does the change in pH from 8.2 to 8.1 result in an increase or decrease in the availability of carbonate ions?
