Question
Chapter 20, Problem 38PS
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The correlation between ocean
Concept introduction:
Ocean acidification: The increase in concentration of carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere leads to ocean acidification. The amount is increasing day by day and this increase will lead to higher concentrations of dissolved
The concentration of hydronium ion is a key factor for many biochemical reactions. So variation may affect the organisms in the oceans.
