Very few plants thrive in a soil that is truly alkaline - that is, above pH7 (7 being neutral, neither alkaline nor acidic). Those that do, such as the peony and alfalfa will tolerate only up to about pH7.5, or just barely alkaline.
The vast majority of plants prefer slightly acidic soil, between pH 6 and 7, but a few such as the orchid and the blueberry will thrive in very acid soil as low as pH4.5.
Acid, hence the name.
As the name might suggest, it is an acid.
it is an acid because it says acid in the name
The reaction between an acid and an alkali is known as a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, the acid reacts with the alkali to form water and a salt.

It is an alkali its scientific name is sodium carbonate :)
neutralization
The reaction between an acid and an alkali is called neutralization. In this reaction, the acid and alkali react to form salt and water.
When an alkali cancels out an acid, it forms a neutral solution known as a salt. This reaction is called neutralization.
Neutralisation, and yes that is how you spell it
The reaction of an acid and an alkali in the right amounts is called neutralization. In this reaction, the acid's hydrogen ions combine with the alkali's hydroxide ions to form water and a salt.
