Why do you put acid in water?
If you add acid to water, the water slowly turns into a dilute solution of acid. If you add water to acid, it creates a large amount of heat (exothermic reaction), which can be very dangerous.
Add acid to water?
Yes,to dilute acid it is safe to add acid to water than the other way around.
Why does one always slowly add the acid to water?
mixing strong acids and water generates a lot of heat. if you add a small amount water to a really strong acid, that water will quickly heat to boiling point & vaporize. the quick vaporization of water poured into the acid will cause the acid to blow out of the container and possible onto to you causing acid burns. by adding small amounts of acid to water, the excess water absorbs the heat of mixing and prevents blow out from the container.
How to make dilute h2so4?
Add acid to water (and NEVER add water to acid). The amount of water, depends on the exact concentration of the dilute acid needed.
How much acid to add to water to pH9?
None. If you add acid to pure water, you lower the pH below 7. There isn't any way to add acid to water to raise the pH.

Do you add water to acid or add acid to water?
you add acid to water
If one wants to top up a tank of muriatic acid should one first add the water or concentrated acid?
When mixing acid and water, always add the acid to the water, and add it slowly. Never add the water to the acid.
What happens when an acid is released in H2O?
A large amount of heat is released when strong acids are mixed with water. Adding more acid releases more heat. If you add water to acid, you form an extremely concentrated solution of acid initially. So much heat is released that the solution may boil very violently, splashing concentrated acid out of the container! If you add acid to water, the solution that forms is very dilute and the small amount of heat released is not enough to vaporize and spatter it.

Can you add acid to an ATV battery?
No, but you can add distilled water if it has filler caps and it is low of electrolite. Do not add tap water or acid.

How do acid reacts with water?
You should always add (small parts of) the concentrated compound (acid, hydroxide) to (the larger amount of) water, because you can stirr and mix and cool down better (heat of hydration can be absorbed much better by the water and surroundings)
What is the role of water for acid to show its properties?
As we all know that we should add acid to water not water to acid. Because it can give a lot heat out which can cause saviour burns to our skins and clothes. when the acid evolves a lot of heat it is a strong acid and when small amount of heat evolves it is a weak acid.
Acid is correctly diluted with water by this method?
Never add water to acid. Think "rootbeer" A&W. Acid into Water.
