First, you need to know that the pH of lemon juice is very low, around 2. If you add lemon juice to a soap solution, you know that the pH would decrease since the pH of the soap solution would naturally be higher than the pH of the lemon juice, so adding lemon juice would lower the pH of the soap solution.
