The irreversible acid-base chemical reaction among the options given is:
**D. strong acid added to water**
When a strong acid is added to water, it completely dissociates into its ions, resulting in a significant change in pH. This dissociation is essentially irreversible under normal conditions, meaning the acid will not recombine with the water molecules to form the original acid.
