How can you dilute concentrated sulfuric acid in laboratory?
Ashisdas1997
By pouring the acid into the water. If you pour the water into the acid it could react violently and splash, hitting you and anyone else around. If you are going to be doing something like this make sure you are wearing protective goggles and a lab coat (or something protective like a lab coat).

∙ 14y agoChemists measure the concentration of sulfuric acid (or any chemical) in terms of moles per liter, not in terms of percentage. And sulfuric acid can be diluted with water, not a solution of water. Just water. Distilled water, if you require chemical purity.

Never put even a drop of water into concentrated acid: it heats up much quicker than (and will 'boil off' before) it get mixed. Always use at least protective gloves and glasses: you might spill one drop of water and both eyes.

Acid in Water = Safe
So, add your acid in some water first, then finish the dillution with water.

Why is Concentrated sulfuric acid a weaker acid compared to dilute sulfuric acid?
Concentrated sulfuric acid has sulfuric acid molecules where dilute sulfuric acid has sulfate ions and hydrogen ions. Water in the diluted solution acts as the ionization medium.
What is the ratio of water and concentrated sulfuric acid in dilute sulfuric acid?
It depends on how diluted the dilute sulphuric acid is (i.e. its concentration).
Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than dilute sulfuric acid?
When the concentration is considered, concentrated acid contains more molecules than the dilute acid. It is only one way to measure the strength. If we consider the reactivity with the absence of water and moisture, dilute sulfuric acid is more reactive than the concentrated acid.
How do you make concentrated sulfuric acid from dilute sulfuric acid?
You need to remove the water by evaporation.
If zinc is first added to dilute sulfuric acid then concentrated sulfuric acid and acetic acid in which case will the fizzing be most and least?
The most fizzing will come from the concentrated sulfuric acid, then dilute sulfuric acid, then the acetic acid.The amount of fizzing is due to the concentration of H+ in the solution, and concentrated sulfuric acid has the most H+ in solution. The dilute sulfuric acid has less (because it is dilute) and the acetic acid solution has the least of all because it is a weak acid rather than a strong acid.See the Related Questions for more information.

Is dilute sulfuric acid a stronger acid compared to concentrated sulfuric acid?
No, although "concentrated" sulfuric acid (essentially pure H2SO4) is less dissociated than dilute sulfuric acid, simply because there's no water around for it to dissociate in.

Is sulfuric acid a nonelectroylte?
Dilute solutions of sulfuric acid conducts electricity because there are free ions, although concentrated sulfuric acid don't.
What happens if sulfuric acid mixed with sugar?
Dilute sulfuric acid has no effect on sugar. However, if the acid is sufficiently concentrated, the sugar decomposes to form carbon soot, which is black in color.
Safest way to dilute concentrated sulfuric acid?
Sulphuric acid should be diluted by adding acid to water while stirring continuously.
Is concentrated sulfuric acid a liquid?
Yes, concentrated sulfuric acid is a liquid.
The safest way to dilute concentrated sulfuric acid is to add -?
Pure water in solid state i.e. Ice
What do you get when you add iron fillings to sulfuric acid?
If it is added to a solution of dilute sulfuric acid, it will react slowly liberating hydrogen gas. With concentrated acid, iron will undergo a series of red-ox reactions.
