Nitric acid and calcium hydroxide react to form calcium nitrate and water.
The molecular equation is as follows:
2HNO3 (aq) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) = Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
So the formula of calcium nitrate, the salt formed in this reaction is Ca(NO3)2 .
Water here seem to be the only real product. It is formed from the OH+ of the hydroxide and the H+ of the acid which combine to form two water molecules.
Calcium and Nitrate ions remain unchanged before and after the reaction and are thus known as spectator ions.

Native
Size
5 to 6 inches in length
Habitat
Muddy marshes, tidal creeks and grass flats and along sheltered shores. In summer, may range along a hundred feet of the shoreline and a few yards offshore. During colder months, often retreat to deeper waters or burrow six to eight inches deep in bottom mud or silt.
Range
Abundant, permanent residents of the entire Chesapeake Bay. Found on the Atlantic coast of North America from Labrador, Canada, to Mexico.
Diet
Diet includes algae, plants, insects, small crustaceans and mollusks, other fish and carrion
Lifespan Up to 3 years
The correct options are these:
1. It will follow the law of conservation of mass.
2.The mass of products will be equal to the mass of the reactants.
The law of conservation of mass states that ' matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Thus, if a chemical equation is balanced, the mass of the reactant at the beginning of the reaction will be equal to the mass of the product after the reaction. This shows that the chemical reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass.
