What else can I help you with?
Do you add water to acid or add acid to water?
you add acid to water
What makes the water acidic?
Water itself is neutral, neither acidic or basic. If an acid is present in the water, such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, etc., then the water will become acidic.
Can citric acid not dissolve with water or it will?
Citric acid dissolves in water in an endothermic reaction.
How do you dilute an acid?
To dilute an acid, you can slowly add the acid to water while stirring continuously. Always remember to add acid to water and not water to acid to prevent splattering. Aim for the desired concentration by adjusting the ratio of acid to water.
The acid dissociation constant for an acid dissolved in water is equal to the?
The acid dissociation constant (Ka) for an acid dissolved in water is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation reaction of the acid into its ion components in water. It represents the extent of the acid's ionization in water.
Is citric acid heavier than water?
No, citric acid is not heavier than water. The density of citric acid is lower than that of water, so citric acid will float on the surface of water.
Why is acid poured into water but not water into acid?
Acid should be poured into water, because if you pour the acid into the water, only the water would splash out and hit you, as opposed to if you pour water into acid, the acid would splash out and hit you.
What is the rule for mixing acids and water?
Always add acid to water, not water to acid. This helps to prevent the acid from splashing back and causing potential harm, as adding water to acid can lead to an exothermic reaction and potentially dangerous spattering.
Stronger acid hydrochloric acid or acetic acid?
Hydrochloric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid. This is because hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that completely dissociates in water to give off hydrogen ions, while acetic acid is a weak acid that only partially ionizes in 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.
Why is acid added to water and not water to acid?
Mixing of acid with water is highly exothermic. Hence acid is added to water.Also, adding acid to water, if the mixture accidentally splashes you will be less likely to be injured by the dilute acid mix. Adding water to acid, if the mixture accidentally splashed you will be more likely to be injured by the still concentrated acid mix.
Why should one add acid to water rather than add water to acid when preparing solutions?
Adding acid to water is safer than adding water to acid because when water is added to acid, the acid can react violently and splatter, potentially causing harm. By adding acid to water slowly, the reaction is more controlled and less likely to cause dangerous splattering.
