Why farmers add slaked lime to acidic soils?

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


How do you get slaked lime from seashells?

the only way to get slaked lime is by burning the sea shells in a lime kiln then by adding cold water, this chemical reaction is by burning the carbon off from the calcium then replaced by oxygen atoms, this process will make the seashell lighter , when cold water is added this process will break down the seashell, then turn into hydrated lime.
