A common way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in water is to heat your water sample to about 50-60 C, for half an hour, and then cool it back down to the temperature you'll titrate at. Often nitrogen gas is bubbled through the sample as it cools back down.

You're purging CO2 because when you're heating the water you're increasing the kinetic energy of the solution which allows for more energy for the CO2 to escape the solution. Nitrogen gas is used to keep CO2 from entering back into the solution while it cools. If you don't have gaseous nitrogen then heating will still reduce the CO2 content of the water.

How do you test for carbonic acid?

Carbonic acid cannot be directly tested for. However, you can indirectly test for its presence by measuring the levels of dissolved carbon dioxide in a solution using methods such as pH testing or titration methods. Carbonic acid is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water.

How do dissolved gases get in ocean water?

The main dissolved gases found in the ocean include, but are not limited to: carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen. Dissolved gases, especially oxygen, are important, since it provides dissolved oxygen for aquatic organisms to "breathe" in. Also, the carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean helps lessen the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment.
