Explanation:

Carbon dioxide fro the atmosphere dissolves in the seawater naturally. This process can be understood by the following process:

Water and carbon dioxide reacts to form carbonic acid that can dissociate into either carbonate ion or bicarbonate ion:

1. CO2 + H2O ====> H2CO3⁻ (carbonic acid)

2. H2CO3⁻ ======> H⁺ + HCO3⁻ (bicarbonate ion)

3. H2CO3⁻ ======> 2H⁺ + CO3⁻ (carbonate ion)

Due to the presence of proton ions in seawater, seawater becomes more acidic. As hydrogen ions bind to the carbonate ions to make bicarbonate ions, the carbonate ion reduced which is required to form the
