(d) Ammonia is used to make ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, which is commonly
used as a fertiliser as it supports plant growth.

Fertilisers that contain ammonium nitrate are slightly acidic.

To prevent the soil from becoming acidic, farmers add calcium carbonate to the
fertiliser.

Suggest why calcium hydroxide should not be added to ammonium nitrate

fertiliser.
