No. The clue is in the name.
Citric acid is a weak triprotic carboxylic acid, i.e. it has three protons available for dissociation.
Because it is an acid, in the same way as vinegar it is readily neutralised by alkaline substances such as sodium bicarbonate.

In one study, potassium citrate supplements protected against calcium losses, even when people ate a high-salt diet. Aspartates, fumarates, and succinate mineral compounds also have an alkalizing effect.

Can lemon acid burn a hole in your stomach?
No, it can't. This is because lemon acid is scientifically named 'citric acid' and stomach acid is likewise named 'hydrochloric acid'. Your stomach lining protects your stomach wall from the corrosive effects of hydrochloric acid, so citric acid will have no effect as it is weaker. However, it may give you heartburn!
