Answer:

The H+ ions combine with water molecules to form H3O+ so the solution becomes acidic. Now let's look at lye, a strong base with the chemical formula NaOH (sodium hydroxide). If we add NaOH to water, it dissociates into Na+ and OH-. The sodiums don't do anything important, but the hydroxyls make the solution more basic.
