Generally, yes. Pretty much anything you do with a strong acid is dangerous. It of course matters what you are mixing it with -- some things are somewhat dangerous, others are explosive and will kill you!
If you mean mixing a strong acid with water, that can also be quite dangerous, and ACID SHOULD ALWAYS BE ADDED TO WATER, not the other way around.

What else can I help you with?
Is the mixing of a weak acid with a strong base an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
The mixing of a weak acid with a strong base is generally exothermic. The reaction generates heat as the acid and base neutralize each other.
Which substance should be added first when mixing acid and water?
When mixing acid and water, always add the acid to the water slowly and carefully. Never add water to acid, as it can cause a dangerous reaction.
Why it is not advisable to add water to strong acid when mixing the two?
It is not advisable to add water to strong acid because it can cause a violent exothermic reaction, leading to splattering of the acid. This can result in thermal burns or other injuries. It is safer to slowly add the acid to water while stirring to minimize the risk of a sudden and dangerous reaction.
What happens when mixing a strong acid with a strong base?
When mixing a strong acid with a strong base, a neutralization reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of water and a salt. The strong acid donates a proton (H+) to the strong base, which accepts the proton (OH-) to form water. The remaining ions from the acid and base combine to form a salt.
Is Mixing a strong acid and weak base basic acidic neutral?
If they are mixed so that they neutralize each other the solution is acidic.

What one of the following statements about sulfuric acid is correct sulfuric acid has little effect on metals sulfuric acid is dangerous to living organisms sulfuric acid is a strong oxidizing agent?
dangerous to living organisms
Ammonia and sulfuric acid?
Mixing ammonia and sulfuric acid can be dangerous as it forms ammonium sulfate, a strong acid. This reaction releases heat and produces toxic fumes. It is important to handle these chemicals with caution and in a well-ventilated area.
When mixing 1m of a strong acid and a strong base you get?
Let's see. NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O The usual salt ( NaCl ) and water.
Why should you never mix Hydrochloric acid and Sulfuric acid and Nitric acid?
Mixing these acids can create highly corrosive and toxic fumes and can result in violent chemical reactions that can be extremely dangerous. It is best to avoid mixing different types of acids to prevent accidental exposure to harmful substances.
Are strong alkalis as dangerous as strong acids?
Yes, strong alkalis can be just as dangerous as strong acids. Both can cause severe burns upon contact with skin and damage to tissues upon ingestion. It is important to handle strong alkalis with care and use appropriate safety precautions, just as with strong acids.
What colour is made by mixing bromothymol blue and sulphuric acid?
Mixing bromothymol blue and sulfuric acid would not result in a colour change, as sulfuric acid is a strong acid and bromothymol blue is a pH indicator that changes colour based on the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
Is hydroxide a acid?
No, the hydroxide ion is a very strong base. but can be just as dangerous as a strong acid.
