When H2O is added to acid it begins to boil due to the strong reaction between the acid and the Base (the water).
Don´t add H2O to acids add acid to water.
Water is both an acid and a base, when it is reacting with acid it becomes base and reacts with base it becomes acid.

Just make sure you don't add it too quickly, because it can release a lot of heat.
Edit: we might want to have a lower concentration of an acid so that we can have a slower reaction rate. Perhaps a reaction is way too violent with a high concentration, so we'd need a lower concentration in order to make it more manageable.

Happens when an acid is added to a base?
If you add the same quantity of an acid and a base it will become neutral.i.e forms salt and water
How do you neutralize a acid or alkali?
To neutralise an acid add sodium carbonate. 2H^+ + Na2CO3 = 2Na^(+) + H2O + CO2 It forms the salt , water and carbon dioxide. To neutralise an alkali add 'milk'.
Large water add to small acid?
Never add water to an acid always add small amount of acid slowly in large amount of water.
Add acid to water?
Yes,to dilute acid it is safe to add acid to water than the other way around.
How do you find out if citric acid forms a solution with water?
It can find be out if citric acid forms a solution with water by adding citric acid to water and seeing if a clear solution is formed.
What happens if you add a base an acid?
If you add the same quantity of an acid and a base it will become neutral.i.e forms salt and water
Do you add water to acid or add acid to water?
you add acid to water

How water forms caves?
The acid in the water forms it

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.
Large water add to small acid?

Can you add acid to an ATV battery?
No, but you can add distilled water if it has filler caps and it is low of electrolite. Do not add tap water or acid.
How to make dilute h2so4?
Add acid to water (and NEVER add water to acid). The amount of water, depends on the exact concentration of the dilute acid needed.
How much acid to add to water to pH9?
None. If you add acid to pure water, you lower the pH below 7. There isn't any way to add acid to water to raise the pH.
