Best Answer

Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, making the oceans more acidic. This increases the solubility of calcium carbonate, making it more difficult to make shells.

How does calcium carbonate reduce harmful emissions from coal-fired power stations?

Coal contains sulphur and when this is burnt(heated) sulphur dioxide is produced, this is a greenhouse gas. To remove this greenhouse gas, this gas is passed a mechanism like a shower that is able to dissolve it and make it an acid. Then this acid sulphur is neutralized with calcium carbonate to form calcium sulphate, water and carbon dioxided
