Consider the reaction between carbon dioxide and water to form carbonic acid:CO2(g)+H2O(l)⇌CH2O3(aq)In the ocean, carbonic acid immediately dissociates to form a proton and bicarbonate ion, as follows:CH2O3(aq)+H+(aq)⇌CHO3−(aq)If an underwater volcano bubbled additional CO2 into the ocean, would this sequence of reactions be driven to the left or the right? How would this affect the pH of the ocean?
