If the soil has H+ ions then the soil is acidic in nature otherwise if the soil has OH- ions then it is basic in nature.

What does an alkali fertilizer do to an acid soil?
As in all acid-base (alkali) reactions, it will reduce the acidity of the soil and, if there is an excess of base to acid, it can make the soil become alkaline. The soil will be less acidic if base is less than acidity, become neutral (if base = acidity), or become alkaline if base is greater than acidity.
What is used to identify an acid or a base?
the pH of the substance
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.
How can you identify a acid and a base?
A pH test with litmus paper/solution is normally the way of finding out.
What is used to identify acids and bases?
an acid is a material or substance that is sour and can change blue litmus paper red a base is a material or substance that is bitter (it sometimes ) and can change red litmus paper blue. Litmus paper can tell an acid from a base Lemon Juice is an acid coffee is a base.
Is clay loam soil an acid or a base?
base

How can you identify an acid and a base from their chemical formulas?
A base contain the anion (OH)- and an acid contain the cation H+.
How can scientist identify an acid and base by their formula only?
Acids have hydrogen. As in HCL or hydrochloric acid
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.
How can you identify an acid and a base without carrying out a chemical test?
by using a litmus paper
How can you identify a acid and a base?

How can you identify an acid and a base by their chemical formulas?
An acid would have the H+ a base will have -OH Example of a base = NaOH Example of an acid = HCl
How do you identify acid base and salt from the materials of known environment?
The most sure method is chemical analysis.

How can acids and bases identified?
for one never taste it but, you will need an acid-base indicator to identify it...you can thank me later
