Do dilutions like you oughta:
Add the acid to the wata. Yes, it's cheesy. But you should always pour the (concentrated) acid into the water, not the other way around.

Large water add to small acid?

Never add water to an acid always add small amount of acid slowly in large amount of water.


Why does it not matter how much water you add when dissolving the acid (KHP) or when carrying out the titration?

Because water is not involved in the chemical reaction.


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.


How do you add the acid?

if the acid is hygroscopic like concentrated sulphuric acid then always add acid into to water but not water into acid if u want to dilute the acid because the liquid bumps and may injure the worker....


Do you add water to acid or add acid to water?

you add acid to water


How do acid reacts with water?

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)


Can you add water to sulphuric acid?

Yes, you can. You can also tug on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, and pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger. None of these are good ideas. Never add water to acid, always add acid to water.


How do you make 25 percent sulfuric acid from 98 percent sulfuric acid?

Take 1 ml of 98% acid and add to 3 ml of water to get 25% acid. Total volume will be 4 ml (in this case). You can scale up this to any volume you need. (always add acid to water and not water to acid)


Why does it not matter how much water you add when dissolving the acid or when carrying the titration?

The titration equivalence point occurs when the acid present in the sample has been exactly neutralized by the volume of base added. Additional water added to the reaction vessel has no effect on the volume of base added.


Add acid to water?

Yes,to dilute acid it is safe to add acid to water than the other way around.


When mixing acid and water how do you add the acids to the water?

Because mixing acid and water is usually a VERY exothermic process there are two things which ought to be done: 1) Add the acid to the water (rather than water to the acid). As I can tell you from personal experience when I grabbed a beaker of sulphuric acid instead of the intended glacial acetic acid and tried to pour water into it, the heat of the mixing process can be sufficient to boil the water that is being added. (My little mistake prompted a rather quick trip to the sink to flood my arm with cold water to get rid of the acid and keep the thermal burns to 1st degree rather than 2nd degree as well as some careful cleanup of the boiled over acid/water mixture) 2) as you add the acid to the water it helps to have a cooling source to absorb all that heat being produced by the mixing process.


When creating a solution of a strong acid and water what order should the ingredients be added?

Always add acid to water. This way if you splash what is in the container onto yourself it will be mostly water. The other way around, water to acid, and you would splash mostly acid onto yourself.
