Acid- is a chemical substance whose aqueous solutions are characterized by a sour

taste, the ability to turn blue litmus red, and the ability to react with bases and
certain metals (like calcium) to form salts. Aqueous solutions of acids have a pH of
less than 7. A lower pH means a higher acidity, and thus a higher concentration
of hydrogen ions in the solution. Chemicals or substances having the property of an
acid are said to be acidic.
pH- is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. Solutions with a
pH less than 7 are said to beacidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7
are basic or alkaline. Pure water has a pH very close to 7.
The pH scale is traceable to a set of standard solutions whose pH is established by
international agreement.[1] Primary pH standard values are determined using
a concentration cell with transference, by measuring the potential difference
between a hydrogen electrode and a standard electrode such as the silver chloride
electrode. Measurement of pH for aqueous solutions can be done with a glass
electrode and a pH meter, or using indicators.
soil pH- is a measure of the acidity or basicity in soils.
Lime -is a general term for calcium-containing inorganic materials, in
which carbonates, oxides and hydroxidespredominate.
No. 7-Soil acidification occurs naturally very slowly as soil is weathered but is
accelerated by productive agriculture. Soil acidifies because the concentration of
hydrogen ions in the soil increases.
No. 2-Munsell color system is a color space that specifies colors based on three
color dimensions: hue, value (lightness), andchroma (color purity). It was created by
Professor Albert H. Munsell in the first decade of the 20th century and adopted by
the USDA as the official color system for soil research in the 1930s.
