This is a measure of the effectiveness of agricultural lime at neutralizing soil. It takes into account the mesh size of the particles (if they are too big they don't work) and the purity of the limestone.

What property of slaked lime is important in neutralising acid soils?

The property of slaked lime that is important in neutralizing acid soils is its ability to react with acidic compounds in the soil, such as hydrogen ions, to raise the soil's pH. This helps to make the soil more alkaline and provides a better environment for plants to grow, as many plants prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soil conditions.


What is th pH value of slake lime?

The pH value of slaked lime, also known as calcium hydroxide, is around 12-13. It is considered basic or alkaline due to its ability to release hydroxide ions in water.

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


Is neutralising acid soil a reversible change?

Neutralizing acid soil is typically reversible because the process involves adding substances such as lime to raise the soil pH. If the soil becomes acidic again due to natural processes or human activity, it can be re-neutralized by adding more lime or other pH-raising materials.
