When mixing acid with water, always add the acid to the water, not the reverse. Also, wear lab goggles.
If you're mixing a stop bath for photo-processing, adding water to glacial acetic acid can create a reaction causing the solution to "boil" and splash, which can result in chemical burns.
Plymouth State University publishes a great photo lab safety manual that is accessible via Related Links, below.

How is pva glue diluted?
I'm sure by adding water it will dilute it as its a water based glue.

Two kinds of Water pollution is acid and garbage.

it is dissolved in water
How does uric acid help birds conserve water?
We humans, use urea to get rid of nitrogenous wastes which is a water-soluble compound. Other animals might use Uric acid, which is not water soluble. It is mainly used to conserve water.Uric acid uses less water to get rid of wastes in an animal. This is because it's physical properties change, it turns into this paste that can bring wastes out of an animal without using as much water. The uric acid is the white part of bird poop.
Why does adding water to acid make it easier to deal with?
why does adding water to an acid make it eaiser to deal with
What is the rule for mixing acids and water?
Always add acid to water, not water to acid. This helps to prevent the acid from splashing back and causing potential harm, as adding water to acid can lead to an exothermic reaction and potentially dangerous spattering.
Why should one add acid to water rather than add water to acid when preparing solutions?
Adding acid to water is safer than adding water to acid because when water is added to acid, the acid can react violently and splatter, potentially causing harm. By adding acid to water slowly, the reaction is more controlled and less likely to cause dangerous splattering.
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.
Why do you add acid to water but not water to acid?
Adding water to acid can cause a violent reaction, splashing the acid out of the container. Adding acid to water, on the other hand, allows for better control of the reaction, reducing the risk of splashing and potential harm.
What is the safety rule for diluting an acid?
Wear safety goggles, do not mix acids unless instructed to do so.
What will happen if sulfuric acid is added with water?
Adding sulfuric acid to water is the recommended way of working to avoid accidents.
Why is it important to add acid to water instead of the other way around?
It is important to add acid to water instead of the other way around because adding water to acid can cause a violent reaction, leading to splashing and potential burns. Adding acid to water allows for better control and minimizes the risk of accidents.
What solution would alkali and acid give if added together?
It would depend on which acid and alkali were involved, the general rule is that adding an acid to an alkali will produce a salt and water. Sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide would give sodium sulphate + water Hydrochloric acid and potassium carbonate would give potassium chloride and water and carbon dioxide etc
What does adding an acid to an alkali produce?
Adding an acid to an alkali produces a salt and water through a neutralization reaction. The H+ ions from the acid react with the OH- ions from the alkali to form water, while the anion from the acid combines with the cation from the alkali to form a salt.
When acid comes in to contact with skin why do you rinse the area with water?
Adding water to the affected area dilutes or washes off the acid.
Why is it important to run a strong acid into a weak acid not the other way round?
Adding water to acids causes rapid heat generation and explosion hazard. Because the water content is higher in "weak" (more diluted) acids, to some degree adding the more dilute acid solution to the less dilute (strong) acid is tantamount to adding water to acid as opposed to adding acid (safely) to water.Because in some cases a lot of heat is given off and the base, or even the water, dribbled into the acid, e.g. H2SO4, will boil off instantaneously and scatter hot drops over everyone. By putting the acid into the water or base the acid is diluted quickly and the process is less dangerous.
