Answer 1

The irreversible acid-base chemical reaction from the options provided is:

**strong acid added to water**

When a strong acid is added to water, it completely dissociates into its ions, which characterizes an irreversible reaction. In contrast, the addition of weak acids or bases typically involves incomplete dissociation, indicating that such reactions can reach an equilibrium and are thus considered reversible.
