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).

you put acid to water slowly while stirring constantly.
Why the battery gets shorted by pouring distilled water on it?
it gets shorted because distilled water contains some of the chemicals which allow conduction
What causes a car battery to lose it water?
The reason for the battery to loose water is due to the heat, in which the water will evaporate... that is why when you refill water they say to only use distilled water, as the acid is now much more concentrated. A battery that is being overcharged will also loose the fluid.
Is it dangerous adding water to concentrated sulphuric acid?
yes it is dangerous, becasue it will become warmer and then a exothermic reaction will happen hope this helped ;D
Why is Battery Acid Dangerous?
Im not sure but if you get it on your skin you have to put plenty of water on it
How do you remove battery acid from trunk of car?
If it is spilled in the trunk, start by mixing baking soda with water and pouring it on the acid spill to neutralize it.
Diffusion is the movement of molescules from?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from more concentrated to less concentrated. Think of pouring dye into water it spreads out from a dense concentration of dye to the water surrounding it with little or no die (less concentration). Once it diffuses evenly it reaches equilibrium. It does NOT however stop moving. Source: Biology major
