Question

Is lemon water alkaline?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lemon is naturally acidic.

1. When the $\mathrm{pH}$ lemon is measured, it is around $2$, which is well below the normal level.
2. On a scale of $0$to$14$, a$\mathrm{pH}$ of $7$ is considered neutral. This is $\mathrm{pH}$ of pure water.
3. Therefore, when measuring different compounds, if the numbers fall below $7$, they are said to be acidic.
4. If the number is greater than $7$, the compounds are considered basic or alkaline.
5. When water is added to the lemon juice extract, Lemonade is still acidic, but slightly more than its original form.
6. It will be diluted in water, and thus the acidity level will decrease.

Hence, lemon water is not alkaline.
