I believe it's better for it to be more abundant because it's better to have more then less. Take water as an example. Water is an important factor to our survival and if we didn't have enough of that we would be in trouble. Or if we needed food but there wasn't enough more people would be dying from starvation. It's better to have a little more than a little less.
Co2 will dissolve in water if water is saturated with Co2 first then it will absorb some of CO2 it appear as less is absorb that was actually the case . this would make it appear as present of CACO3 is in original sample is lower than it will be too low
