Because if you over correct, excess calcium carbonate is all but harmless, whilst excess sodium hydroxide can be corrosive and toxic.
Both would do the job but calcium carbonate is cheaper, less aggressive to skin tissues and easier to handle and formulate into a palatable blend. Go Quickease!
Calcium carbonate easily react with acids and a neutralizing reaction occur.
Carbonate will increase soil pH value, because it reacts with acid, but sulfate will not affect the pH.
acid rain is acidic. so a base like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can be used to neutralize it.
if cyclohexene is prepared by dehydration of cyclohexanol in the presence of a strong acide like H3PO4, sodium carbonate will be used to neutralize the acidic medium
To neutralize something that has become overly acidic, you must add something that is basic. This will counter-balance the acids to become neutral, or the correct level, again. An antacid is a weak base (or a salt that acts as a weak base) that is used to alleviate pain and discomfort by reacting with stomach acid and raising the pH back into the normal range.
Calcium carbonate, shells
Yes, it is true that the acidic ocean water will erode the calcium carbonate shells.
when acidic ground water comes in contact with rock that contains calcium carbonate the acidic water starts to dissolve the rock
SINCE CARBONATE & HYDROXIDE'S ARE NEGATIVE ELEMENTS(eg..OH-) WHEN USED WITH ACIDIC (pH<7)ENVIRONMENT (i.e..POSITIVE ELEMENTS( H+))FORMS A NEUTRAL COMPOUND.HENCE USED FOR NEUTRALIZATION.
add calcium carbonate
Lime, calcium carbonate, is alkaline.
Calcium Carbonate decreases organic matter and grain yields so that although there is a lot of leaves about - the soil won't be too acidic. Calcium Carbonate may be particularly effective with soil under a tree.
Over time soils on farms become acidic, calcium carbonate is added to fields to regulate the ph of the soil
A calcium salt, carbon dioxide and water are formed.
For example calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
Calcium carbonate easily react with acids and a neutralizing reaction occur.
