Best Answer

You should always add (small parts of) the concentrated compound (acid, hydroxide) to (the larger amount of) water, because you can stirr and mix and cool down better (heat of hydration can be absorbed much better by the water and surroundings)

ADD ACID TO WATER. Think about it. If you had a beaker full of sulfuric acid and added water to it the acid, being concentrated in the beaker, could splash with a clumsy addition of water. Adding acid to water would splash mostly water with a clumsy pour.

no.

your suposed to pour the acid down the side of the cup

(and you would spill some acid or water if you did)

Always, always, always add acid to water.

You can splash concentrated acid on yourself if you do it the other way.
