... If a process, such as CO2 dissolution, adds [H+] to seawater, some of the added [H+] reacts with carbonate (CO32–) ion to convert it to bicarbonate (HCO3–). Because most of the added [H+] would be consumed in this way, the change in pH is much less than it would otherwise be. But this process also c ...
