Pure water is neither acid nor alkaline: it is (essentially) neutral pH= 7.0 (at 25 oC).

Municipal tap water is normally very slightly lakaline (pH=8), sometimes 'natural source' water are slightly acidic (pH=5 to 6) depending on well, river, lake or ground conditions.

When you add acid, pH is lowered (<7.0) in the acidic range,

and with alkali (base) pH becomes >7.0 in alkaline range.

What type of soil do plants not grow well in?

Very few plants will grow in heavy clay soil and not many will grow in sand. Plants need organic material in the soil to enable the roots to penetrate and to nourish the plants, so the more humus soil contains, the better most plants will grow. Plants also do not thrive in very acid or highly alkaline soil. Most plants prefer neutral or slightly acid pH. Sne45: I think clay-like soil, nor do I think plants in sand can grow.
