Mixing water and acid is very exothermic. Potentially enough heat is generated to cause the water to instantly vaporize, which can result in splattering (and messing up any volume calculations you may have already done). For this reason, ALWAYS add acid to water, NOT the other way around. The water acts as a heat sink and can absorb any heat that is generated. For best results, add the acid slowly while gently swirling the flask/beaker of water. You can also submerge the water flask/beaker into an ice bath.

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.
How does the process of mixing acid with water or water with acid affect the resulting solution?
When mixing acid with water, the acid should be added to the water slowly to prevent a rapid release of heat. This process helps to dilute the acid and reduce the risk of a violent reaction. On the other hand, mixing water with acid can cause the acid to become more diluted and less concentrated. It is important to follow proper safety precautions when handling acids to avoid accidents or injuries.
What does mixing in acid with a base give you?
When mixing an acid and a base you will get a salt and water solution (But this is not the normal water that you would drink or, the normal salt you would put on your chips) . Here is the word equation; acid+ base= salt+ water.
What does mixing acid and alkali produce?
Mixing an acid and an alkali produces salt and water through a neutralization reaction. The acid donates a proton to the alkali, forming water, while the remaining ions from the acid and alkali combine to form a salt.
What is the name of the gas results in mixing hno3 and h3nso3?
When you mix Nitric Acid HNO3 with Sulphamic Acid H3NSO3 you will get NITROUS OXIDE N2O , Sulphuric Acid H2SO4 and Water H2O
Which substance should be added first when mixing acid and water?

What is the acid from water mixing with carbon dioxide?
This is the carbonic acid, H2CO3.

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.
What is reaction of a exothermic?
Mixing of conc. sulfuric acid with water
What is it called when you make an acid weaker by mixing it with water?
diluting

What are 10 examples of neutralisation?
Mixing hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide to form salt and water. Combining sulfuric acid with calcium hydroxide to produce calcium sulfate and water. Reacting nitric acid with potassium hydroxide to yield potassium nitrate and water. Mixing acetic acid with ammonia to form ammonium acetate and water. Combining phosphoric acid with barium hydroxide to produce barium phosphate and water. Reacting citric acid with sodium bicarbonate to yield sodium citrate and water. Mixing hydrofluoric acid with sodium carbonate to form sodium fluoride and water. Combining carbonic acid with potassium hydroxide to produce potassium carbonate and water. Reacting oxalic acid with calcium hydroxide to yield calcium oxalate and water. Mixing hydrobromic acid with magnesium hydroxide to form magnesium bromide and water.
When mixing an acid and a base and water are produced.?
The product of this reaction is a salt.
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 can you prepare boric acid ointment in the laboratory?
To prepare boric acid ointment in the laboratory, start by mixing boric acid powder with a suitable base like petroleum jelly or white soft paraffin in a mortar and pestle until well mixed. Gradually add a small amount of water to achieve the desired consistency, then mix thoroughly. Store the ointment in a clean, airtight container.
What does mixing acid and alkali produce?
Mixing an acid and an alkali produces salt and water through a neutralization reaction. The acid donates a proton to the alkali, forming water, while the remaining ions from the acid and alkali combine to form a salt.
