Ocean Acidification - Coggle Diagram
Ocean Acidification
Ways to mitigate
Solar Methanol Islands
Growing sea grass
Lime
Geoengineering
Iron Fertilisation
Reduction of Carbon Emissions
causes
CO2
CO_2 + H_2O <=> H_2CO_3
NO_2
3NO_2 + H_2O --> 2HNO_3 + NO
SO_3
SO_3 + H_2O --> H_2SO_4
increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, being dissolved into the ocean
Equations
shell making
HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) = CO32-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Carbonic Acid: CO2 (aq) + H2O(l) ⇋ H2CO3 (aq)
pH
H_2O <=> H^+ + OH^-
Impacts
Human
economy
Torisum
Food avaliability
Fishing Spots?
Enviromental
ocean deoxygenation
Marine Life
Shell building made harder due to lack of carbonate [which bonds with calcium to form shells]
less marine life
