Lime
Quicklime
Crushed limestone is added to soil to reduce its acidity.
Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, can neutralize hydrochloric acid. When added to an acid, it reacts to form carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt, which helps to reduce the acidity of the solution.
When an acidic substance is added to marigold flower indicator, the color generally turns red or pink. This color change indicates the presence of acidity in the substance being tested.
Potassium bicarbonate is added to water to help regulate the pH level and reduce acidity, making the water more suitable for consumption.
by reducing the chemicals added to the substance
A substance that tends to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved.
Acid is a substance that, when added to water, dissociates (dissolves) to release H+ ions into the water. The higher percent of the acid that dissociates, the stronger the acid.
A buffer solution is a substance that helps maintain pH levels from changing by resisting large fluctuations in acidity or alkalinity when an acid or base is added. Buffers work by containing a weak acid and its conjugate base, which can neutralize added acids or bases to keep the solution's pH relatively stable.
A defoaming agent is typically used to reduce bubbling in a substance. These agents work by breaking the surface tension of the bubbles, causing them to collapse and disappear. Defoaming agents can be added directly to the substance that is bubbling to help control and prevent excessive foaming.
When Oxygen is added to a substance it is called oxidation.
Sodium carbonate is added to coffee solutions to reduce acidity and make the coffee taste smoother. It can also help in extracting more flavor compounds from the coffee grounds, resulting in a more flavorful brew.
Lime in soil helps reduce the acidity of the soil. The PH of the soil should be checked before adding lime to it. Some plants that like lime added to the soil are sunflower, carnations, poppy, and sumac to name a few.
