While performing an experiment at home, Emma adds lemon juice to a soap solution. How will this affect the pH of the soap solution?

The soap is basic (with a ph > 7) so adding lemon juice (ph < 7 ; much less than 7) will decrease the pH.

It will lower the pH of the solution since soap is basic (pH>7).
