"Option D"

Explanation:

This question illustrates stoichiometry, which requires that all chemical equations be balanced with respect to (i) mass, and (ii) charge.

We have the neutralization of Ca(OH)_2(aq), i.e. "lime-water":

Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2HNO_3(aq) rarr Ca(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l)

And the products are "D" as above. Can you write a stoichiometric equation that represents the reaction between Ca(OH)_2, and the diacid, H_2SO_4?
