True!True or false: Water absorbs Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere.?
True. There is a complex relationship. Temp. The lower the more adsorbed, Pressure, the higher the more adsorbed. pH. the lower, the more is adsorbed. Some deep cold lakes which are volcanic have been known to give up their adsorbed CO2 when they get a sudden heating from volcanic sources. This is why distilled water is not a perfect 7pH. A few minutes exposure to normal air with some CO2 in it and it goes slightly lower in pH.
True - resulting in carbonic acid (HCO3-)
