Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
When lime dissolves, it happens to release a base into the soil solution which reacts with the acidic elements, hydrogen, and aluminium, to neutralise the acidity. The pH of the soil is used to measure the "soil acidity." Neutrality is referred to as a pH of 7.0. Ground limestone rock, which naturally contains calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, is used to make lime, a soil amendment.
