Answer:

Lime or calcium carbonate's reaction with an acidic soil. As lime dissolves in the soil, calcium (Ca) moves to the surface of soil particles, replacing the acidity. The most common way to raise the pH of soil is to add pulverized limestone to the soil. Limestone acts as a soil acid neutralizer and consists of either calcium and magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate. These are called dolomitic limestone and calcific limestone respectively.

hope it helps you!
