Lime is a strong base. When you add a base to an acid it turns it neutral. So by adding the lime to the water after a while it'll turn into precipitation itself and neutralize the acid. This is also known as acid-base neutralization.
Because its alkali it will neutralise the acid in the lake making the water neutral
Lime I's added to the lakes to neutralize the acidity of the water
quick lime or slaked lime is added to acidic soil
The lime added to sweeten the soil is usually white limestone. It makes soil less acidic.
Lakes are limed because of acid rain, without the added alkali in the water the pH balance of the lake would be pushed further towards acidic and this would be very detrimental to the aquatic life which have quite narrow tolerance bands for pH. So to keep the pH at roughly the same level lime is added.

Vodka is acidic, however it is one of the least acidic of all alcohols. Do NOT drink with ANY carbonated anything. This will make it HIGHLY acidic. Use water instead and lime or lemon can be added to make it more alkaline.
would be a little acidic considering- Tomatoes are added as well as lime juice is sprinkled.
The farmers put lime water on acidic soil.
Lime juice is fairly acidic.
Lime, calcium carbonate, is alkaline.
Many plants do not do as well in acidic soil. The lime makes the soil less acidic, or even basic.
Calcium Hydroxide (or Slaked Lime) is a strong base (as are all metal hydroxides, oxides, and carbonates) A Base is a substance with a pH of 8 or more. When an acid and a base react, the result is that a salt and water is formed. This also has the effect of neutralising a substance (giving it a pH of 7 or closer to 7) So slaked lime is added in order to reduce the acidity of the soil
