Lemon juice lowers pH by increasing the amount of Hydronium ions and decreasing the amount of Hydroxide ions. pH is the measurement of Hydronium ions. If there is more hydronium ions, the lower the pH will be. Lemon juice increases the amount of Hydronium ions by adding a Hydrogen atom into solution when the citric acid dissociates.
