If you mean bagged, granular fertilizer, like that sold for garden and lawn use, it tends to be slightly acidic. Use of fertilizers, as in farm soil, over a period of years definitely increases the acidity of the soil, which is why farmers add lime every few years.

Is an acid and a base both reactants?

Yes, in a chemical reaction, an acid and a base are both considered reactants. They react with each other in a neutralization reaction, typically producing water and a salt. This interaction is fundamental in acid-base chemistry, where the acid donates protons (H⁺), and the base accepts them.

Is hydrogen sulfide an acid or a base?

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a weak acid. When dissolved in water, it can act as a weak acid, producing hydrosulfide ion (HS-) in solution.


What does an alkali fertilizer do to an acid soil?

As in all acid-base (alkali) reactions, it will reduce the acidity of the soil and, if there is an excess of base to acid, it can make the soil become alkaline. The soil will be less acidic if base is less than acidity, become neutral (if base = acidity), or become alkaline if base is greater than acidity.


How are the products of neutralization generally produce?

by mixing a base with an acid, producing water and an ionic salt


Is NO2 acid or base in water?

NO2 can act as both an acid and a base in water. When dissolved in water, NO2 can act as an acid by donating a proton to water, forming nitric acid. It can also act as a base by accepting a proton from water, producing nitrite ions.
