Problem: You have heard that increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are leading to ocean acidification. You have also seen the equation for this reaction, wherein increasing CO2 reacts with H20 to form carbonic acid. In your virtual lab you have been provided with a sample of ocean water, a pH meter, and a straw. The straw lets you blow your exhaled CO2 into the water, creating bubbles of CO2 that will mix with the ocean water.
Based on this information, answer the following questions:
1. What is your hypothesis?
2. Design a simple experiment with the provided virtual materials to test your hypothesis. This should be in the form of a list of steps, written in complete sentences.
