19. Scientists have become concerned about the effects that increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere will have on our oceans. Given the equilibrium equations below, what chemical changes would you expect to see in the ocean as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rise? (4) CO2(g) + H2O(1) = H2CO3(aq) H2CO3(aq) = H+ + HCO3(aq) (aq) HCO3(aq) = H+ (aq) + CO2 (aq)
