CO3(2-)
This polyatomic ion, released from Ca(2+) in solution, may pick up protons, but I am not sire of a straight neutralization reaction here, though CaCO3 is a weak base. Probably an equilibrium reaction with bicarbonate and carbonic acid here.

How do you reduce soil acidity with naturally occurring minerals?
Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 (called slaked lime)Added:Even more 'naturally occurring' is Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 , which is the main component of shells of marine organisms, snails and eggshells. Calcium carbonate (commonly called limestone) is the active ingredient in agricultural lime as 'anti-acid'.
What is limestone calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate?
Calcium carbonate.
What are marble chip made of?
CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate)
What is the correct name for the compound Ca(HCO3)2?
Calcium oxide
Antacids may contain which ion to reduce acidity?
Antacids commonly contain ions such as calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), or aluminum (Al3+) to reduce acidity in the stomach. These ions bind to excess stomach acid, neutralizing it and reducing the overall acidity of the stomach.
If your soil was too acidic what could you add to it to reduce the acidity?
Type your answer here... calcium carbonate
Control soil acidity?
Calcium carbonate is used to control soil acidity.
Calcium carbonate can be used as an antacid to treat excess stomach acidity What type of substance is calcium carbonate?
base.
What chemical compound is used used to relief acidity?
calcium carbonate
Compound X is unknown Compound X does not dissolve in water does not react with water and is used to control soil acidity what is compound X?
Yes, it is the ammonium hydroxide - NH4OH.
What mineral is used to decrease acidity of fields and gardens?
Frequently is used calcium carbonate (chalk).
How does calcium carbonate help to reduce the amount of acid rain?
Calcium carbonate is an alkali. It reacts with the acids and neutralises the acid rain.
Is calcium carbonate used in water softeners?
No. Calcium carbonate is one of the minerals that water softeners are supposed to eliminate, or at least reduce.

Calcium carbonate (commonly called limestone) is the active ingredient in agricultural lime as 'anti-acid'.
Why is calcium oxide used for agriculture to reduce the acidity of soils?
because it is basic
How do you neutralise acid rain in soil?
Add a base/alkali such as calcium carbonate (limestone) to the soil which will neutralise the acidity.
Is the carbonate or the calcium the buffer in calcium carbonate?
The carbonate. Calcium is neutral.
