Question

Is lemon juice acidic or basic?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lemon contains high amounts of citric acid, so it is acidic in its natural state with an $\mathrm{pH}$ $2$.

1. On a scale of $0$to$14$, a$\mathrm{pH}$ of $7$ is considered neutral. This is $\mathrm{pH}$ of pure water.
2. Therefore, when measuring different compounds, if the numbers fall below $7$, they are said to be acidic.
3. If the number is greater than $7$, the compounds are considered basic or alkaline.

Hence, lemon juice is acidic, not basic.
