acid
Coca-Cola (coke) is acidic due to its low pH level, which is primarily attributed to the presence of phosphoric acid and carbonic acid in the drink. It is not alkaline or neutral.
Coke is an acid.
Simply put, coke is acidic on the pH scale. If youv don't remember what the pH scale is, it is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a substance is. Coke is about 3 on the pH scale, making it decently acidic (just so u have a comparison distilled water is 7 on the pH scale which is neutral). In short acid eats away at metals while alkaline eats away at protein. So when calcium and zinc build up on your penny soaking it in coke will eat away at the metals built up, leaving it nice and shiny. Side note: alkaline pH substances eat away at proteins so that's why we use high alkaline products to clean our sinks and toilets.
Citric acid is actually acidic, not alkaline.
Mixing coke and baking soda will create a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas, causing fizzing. This reaction is due to the acid in coke reacting with the alkaline baking soda. It is often used as a household cleaner or to unclog drains.

Alkaline
Coke in and of itself is not an acid but a mixture of a variety of substance, some of which are acids. Coke contains carbonic acid and some phosphoric acid.
Alkaline
No, an acid is an acid and an alkaline is alkaline. They are essentially opposites and will react with one another. The product depends on the specific reactants
