Yes,to dilute acid it is safe to add acid to water than the other way around.
Sulphuric acid should be diluted by adding acid to water while stirring continuously.
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.
Its the other way around, hydrochloric acid is an example of a strong acid, whether dilute or otherwise. The strength of an acid is independent of its concentration.

Add the acid to the water, not the other way around.

When you dilute tea, it doesn't matter whether you add tea to water or water to tea. When you dilute acid, you should alwyas add acid to water, not the other way around. This is because water and acid will temporarily heat up; and it is dangerous to have a hot solution of strong acid mix (all the original acid plus the first drops of water to go in).

No, in the same way a dilute acid can be classed as a strong acid. Even very dilute sodium hydroxide is still classed as a strong base.

"Do dilutions as you oughta; pour the acid in the wata."That is: do not add water to a concentrated acid, add the concentrated acid to water.If you add a drop of water to a larger volume of, say, concentrated sulfuric acid, the heat of solution is so great that it can actually cause the water droplet to boil, splattering an acid/water mix over anything nearby. Hopefully you can see where this might be bad.
Are you sure you don't mean hydrochloric acid, or HCl (that is "H" "C" and "L")?Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, made of hydrogen (H) and chlorine atoms (Cl).To dilute an acid, ADD ACID TO WATER, and not the other way around.
When using Muriatic Acid it's important to wear the proper protective gear, and have plenty of clean water on hand in case of an accident. Always pour the acid into water, and not the other way around. Wet the stones before cleaning. Dilute the acid with water. Make sure the stones are soaked with water before applying, and don't leave the acid on too long. Scrub the stains with a scrub brush. Rinse everything off, and allow to dry.
