#pH levels
- Alkalescent — Becoming alkaline; showing a tendency to acquire basic (alkaline) properties, or having weakly expressed or developing alkaline characteristics. In biology, the term often describes substances or organic media undergoing a phase of slight alkalinization as a result of specific chemical reactions.
- Alkalescence — The property of being alkalescent; the state of a substance, solution, or organic medium showing a weak, incipient, or developing alkalinity. It represents the transitional phase or moderate chemical character where the pH evolves from neutral toward basic levels without reaching a highly corrosive value.
- Alcalia — A well-known brand of natural still mineral water, recognized in the market for its strongly alkaline character, featuring a high natural pH (typically around 9.36). It originates from a deep underground spring and is marketed within the context of a healthy lifestyle for its ability to support efficient hydration and help maintain the body's acid-base balance.
- Alkalinity — The property of being alkaline; the total concentration of basic substances in a solution capable of neutralizing hydrogen ions. In hydrology and ecology, it represents the buffering capacity of water against acidification, primarily determined by the presence of carbonate, bicarbonate, and hydroxide ions.
