As a high school senior, learning the knowledge of buffer solutions, combining Henry's Law and Le Chatelier's Principle, and with the inspiration from my elective courses, ideas started bubbling up while sipping on soda. I began pondering, would higher carbon dioxide emissions increase carbonic acid concentration in the ocean, potentially making it easier for marine organisms to synthesize calcium carbonate shells? This seemingly logical inference hides scientific mysteries—is there more than meets the eye? Simultaneously, just as changes in the body's pH affect health, how would alterations in ocean pH impact the ecological environment?
Amidst our longing for soda on warm summer days due to climate change, I questioned whether the ocean's buffering capacity is weakening, making the Earth more vulnerable. These inquiries propelled me into experiments on relevant buffer solutions, sparking not only my curiosity but also unveiling the fascinating nature of the ocean as a buffer solution. In my experiments, I discovered that even buffered solutions, after extensive addition of strong acids or bases, might still exhibit acidity or alkalinity. This triggered contemplation on mitigating and improving the effects of ocean acidification in sustainable development.
While absorbing numerous knowledge in school, I found my voice and concerns about the issues I care deeply about not being adequately expressed. Participating in competitions provides an avenue to make more people aware of current problems, conveying messages through media and presentations, including friends, family, and classmates.
