How can we determine whether carbon dioxide is actually being used or expelled by a plant or an animal? Carbon dioxide dissolves in (and reacts with) water, forming carbonic acid. As this acid forms, ...

Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is ...

A new study by researchers at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology has revealed that the African catfish ...

Oxygen and carbon dioxide, dissolved in water, are exchanged by diffusion in the lungs: The dissolved substances will only continue to diffuse while there is a concentration gradient. Blood flow ...

Acids dissolve calcium carbonate, meaning the carbon dissolves in water or is released as carbon dioxide gas,” the researchers wrote in an article for The Conversation. “This huge pool of ...
