When done correctly (i.e. the acid poured into the water), the acid becomes diluted and there should be no other effects other than a slight amount of heat and possible splashing from the resulting exothermic reaction. When done stupidly (i.e. water poured into acid), the acid is rapidly partially neutralized by the water, resulting in extreme heat and definite splashing. Unless you think you would look really sweet with an acid burn, do NOT do this.

∙ 14y agoWhen you mix acid and water, you pour the acid into a larger volume of water. Mixing the chemicals the other way can present a lab safety hazard.if water is added to a acid (H2SO4),it reacts very vigorously with water, as it is a highly exothermic reaction. If you add water to concentrated sulfuric acid, it can boil and spit and you may get a nasty acid burn.

∙ 14y agoAs the acid dissociates in the water, it creates a lot of heat, boiling the water.
If you pour acid into water, the water acts as a heat sink, and little happens.
However, if you pour water into concentrated acid, it is possible for the water to be heated so rapidly that it explodes into steam, throwing acid out of the beaker.

The suger gets left behind while the water evapourates
What happens to a coin when you boil it?
In water, it just gets clean.
What happens to water when it gets cold?
It expands when you freeze it
What happens to lettuce if it is submerged in ice cold water?
it gets wet
What happens when water is added to acids?
acid gets diluted
What happens when concentrated sulfuric acid is added to coconut water?
The solution gets hot
When dilute hydrochloric acid gets mixed with sodium hydroxide what will form?
It will form salt sodium chloride and water (Nacl + H20)
What impact would acid rain have on the great lakes?
Learnt them when i was small. Acid rain lowers the Ph of the water thus, affecting the aquatic life in it. Sometimes, in Acid rains, aluminium oxide gets mixed with it. As it reaches the fish's gills, a strong acid mixed with aluminium oxide goes in and blocks the fish's gills from any oxygenated water to pass in then out.
What happens if protein gets mixed with amylase?
it turns red
What happens to the oxygen that is formed from the breakdown of water?
The O from H2O goes to form Oxygen as O2 which is a gas and gets mixed up in the air
What happens to the acid in a lemon battery?
it gets converted into electricity
What happens when air pollution gets into rivers?
Air pollution is generally acidic in nature, involving nitrogen and sulfur compounds that produce acid when dissolved in water, so when they wash out of the air in the rain, the result is known as acid rain. When acid rain gets into rivers, they acidify. This is harmful to fish.
What happens to the amount of ions as the acid gets stronger?
the ions decreases once the ph got more acid
What happens during a chemical reaction that involves an acid and a base?
it gets a liquid out
What happens if part of the egg yolk gets mixed in with the egg whites?
You have scrambled eggs.
What happens when formic acid reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid?
the acids like formic acid gets dehydrated when reacted with conc.sulphuric acid. HCOOH ----> CO + H2O
