Why do farmers put lime on their fields if the acid is to strong?
Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 is the ingredient of lime. CaCO3 is a base. If there is too much acid in the fields, by adding a base it can be neutralised - that way, the ground won't be too acidic or too basic and crops can grow in their ideal conditions.
Is calcium carbonate a salt base or acid?
Calcium carbonate is an alkali salt. Alkali salts are bases, and are formed from the neutralization reaction between a strong base and a weak acid. For example: Ca(OH)2 + H2CO3 --> CaCO3 + H2O strong base + weak acid ---> alkali salt + water
Is an acid CaCO3?
No, calcium carbonate is a base (an alkali.)
What is an example of an Arrhenius base KOH HCl CaCO3 NH3?
Potassium hydroxide is a base.
What is the potentiality of chicken eggshells as neutralizer to acidic acid?
I think you mean acetic acid. Eggshells contain calcium carbonate, CaCO3, which is a base.

I was recently at the fish store and the salesman said that the reason for the high alkalinity in my tank was due to shells made of calcium. Why would Calcium be making my water more basic?
# The shells aren't made of calcium, they're made of calcium carbonate. # Calcium carbonate is the salt of a strong base and a weak acid, and is therefore weakly alkaline. I understand that you can make CaCO3 by the following process: HCO3 + CaOH => CaCO3 +H2O But once you have made CaCO3 ( a slightly alkaline salt) from the acid and base, what is happening to the CaCO3 in the H2O that is making the water more basic? In other words, how can CaCO3 have anything to do with the lone OH- ions present in the water?
What is the effect of CaCO3 on acids' pH level?
CaCO3 is a base. It will neutralize acid and hence the pH of acid increases (tends to reach neutral pH)
Why is CaCO3 a salt?
CACO3 is a salt because it contains a metal(calcium) as well as a non-metal/s(carbon & oxygen).It can be made by mixing acid and a base.
Is KOH a strong or a weak base?
It is a strong base.
Why does CaCo3 otherwise called marble chips react with vinegar?
CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) is a mild base, and as such reacts to neutralise acids. Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid (AcH). CaCO3 + 2AcH --> H2O + CO2 + CaAc
Is milk a strong base or weak base?
It is a strong base.
Is milk a weak base or strong base?
It is a strong base.
