Ocean acidification is caused from the ocean being forced to absorb vast amounts of fossil fuels and carbon. The carbon that is absorbed in turn causes the waters pH to go down, thus making it more acidic.
Dissolving CO2 in seawater increases the concentration in the ocean, and thus decreases ocean pH.
When CO2 dissolves, it reacts with water to form a balance of ihttp://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Ion and non-ionic chemical species: dissolved free carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, carbonate and bicarbonate.

What is a problem for blue whales from fossil fuels?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is causing global warming and climate change. Oceans are becoming more acidic from the additional carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, and acidity causes problems for small sea creatures like krill which is the main diet of all whales. If the food supply dies out, then the species is threatened.
