Answer:

The H+ atoms will become neutralized by the OH- ions in the water. This is due to the fact that when acids are dissovled in water, they give H+ ions (Hydrogen ions). When the H+ ions from the acid join with the OH- ions in the base (water), they'll become neutralized and form H₂O (Water molecule).
