Lemon juice is considered acidic.
Lemon juice is acidic outside of the body (PH 2.0), but is alkaline-yielding once ingested.
Lemon juice is acidic.
No, adding lemon juice to water does not make it alkaline. Lemon juice is acidic in nature, so it actually lowers the pH of water, making it more acidic.
Substances that have a pH level above 7 are considered alkaline or basic, while substances with a pH level below 7 are considered acidic. Examples of alkaline substances include baking soda and soap, while examples of acidic substances include lemon juice and vinegar.

Lemon is acidic.
The pH of pure water is 7 (neutral). Adding lemon juice (which is acidic) will decrease the pH, making the solution more acidic. Lemon juice typically has a pH of around 2, so the pH of the water will decrease to a value closer to 2 when lemon juice is added.
Lemon water is still acidic, you can easily test this yourself with a basic pH meter (they don't cost much). As the lemon water becomes more dilute it will approach the pH of the water. Tap water is commonly slightly alkaline (pH 7.4 or so) and so at very high dilutions the lemon water will exceed 7, but then there really isn't much lemon in it by that stage. pH < 7 is acidic, pH > 7 is alkaline.
Lemon juice is more acidic. Lemon juice has a pH of 2, which is very acidic. Sodium hydroxide is alkaline, with a pH of 14. However, I'd consider sodium hydroxide considerably more dangerous, as even a small splash can cause painful burning.
Both Lime and Lemon juice are acidic before ingestion. Surprisingly, however, the body's digestion of these juices has a net alkalizing effect. Drinking these juices will typically lower you body's pH level.
