  1. Seawater pH The concentration of hydrogen ions [H+ ] in a solution is its pH.

  2. The Carbon Buffering System Seawater has an unusually large capacity to absorb CO2without changing its pH!

  3. The carbonic acid – bicarbonate – carbonate system keeps seawater at a pH value between 7.5 and 8.4.
