What happens to a lakes PH when there is limestone rock in the lake?
The pH level will go up because of the acid in the limestone bedrock.
What soil pH level is ideal for growing strawberries?
The preferred soil pH level for strawberries is 5.8 to 6.2. If the soil is too acidic, add ground limestone to bring the pH level within that range.
Why is limestone used as a agricultural product?
To increase the pH level in the soil so that the soil does not become too acidic.
Is the PH level of faucet water higher or lower than the PH level of precipitation rain?
It depends on where you are. If your water comes from aquifers that are in limestone rock and you are near an industrial are it is likely the faucet water will be slightly higher pH than the rain water.

What is limestone and why is its products used in farming?
Limestone (basically Calcium carbonate) is used to adjust the pH or acidity level of agricultural soils (and also domestic garden soils). It is normally applied to soils which may be to acidic to support balanced plant growth (i.e. soils with a pH of less than 7) in an effort to neutralize the acidic effects and return the low pH value to a more neutral level (optimal pH range for plant growth is 5.5 to 7.5). The amount of Limestone applied is determined by the rise in pH that you wish to achieve, in agricultural practice this is normally done by performing a soil pH test at an agricultural laboratory; the consultant will then prescribe the application rate of Limestone per hectare
What is limestone's pH value?

Would high pH water weather limestone?
From what I know, limestone is alkali, and high pH water would not weather alkali things. For the case of limestone, it might even make the limestone bigger (think so).
Can limestone be used to lower water PH?
No, lime is a base chemical not an acid compound. Acids lower Ph, base raises Ph. Besides limestone is s stone not lime.
Would limestone raise pH of vinegar?
Yes, because limestone neutralize acetic acid.
What rocks have a pH on the pH scale?
Rocks are mainly salts and have a pH of circa 7. Limestone and dolomite are more basic and have a pH of > 7 but <9.
What has a pH level of 3?
Apples have a pH level of 3. Also, soda has a pH level of 4, and vinegar's pH level is 2.5.
