Best Answer

Acidic water may be able to chemically burn your skin, or your throat if you drink it. It can irritate your eyes and nose (if you breath a mist containing it). Acidic water in the environment creates acidic conditions in soil and ponds that will kill those plants and animals that need non-acidic conditions to thrive.

Water breaks down to form hydrogen and oxygen when electricity is passed through it. Water is a bad conductor of electricity, so it is mixed with sulphuric acid or caustic soda to make it a good conductor of electricity.


Pouring water into a concentrated battery acid dangerous?

Yes. Battery acid is sulfuric acid, and its dissociation in water is HIGHLY exothermic. Adding a small quantity of water to the concentrated acid releases so much heat that the water can reach its boiling point. Think frying bacon, except instead of hot grease spattering (which is bad enough) it's hot concentrated acid. Adding the acid to the water means that only a relatively small amount of acid is being added to a large quantity of water; this helps control the heat production (you should still do it carefully and slowly). "Do dilutions like you oughtta; pour the acid in the watta."
