Question 5.
You have a soil mixture where the initial pH is 11.5. If you add 5% lime and measure the pH after stabilization, what is the expected outcome?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the general trend when lime is added.
Question 6.
Design an experiment to determine the optimal lime ratio for a specific soil type. What factors would you need to control?
Show hintHide hint
