How do you convert an acid to a base?
Increase the hydroxide concentration in the acid by adding an excess of any alkali solution
Acid is correctly diluted with water by this method?
Never add water to acid. Think "rootbeer" A&W. Acid into Water.
What do you rinse acid off your skin or clothes with?
Adding water to the affected area, whether skin or clothes, with water would dilute and wash the acid off.
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.

Sulphuric acid is diluted by adding water but not water into acid?
Both ways dilute the acid, however adding the water to the acid releases heat quicker, which can pose an unnecessary hazard.
