Always add the acid to the water. Otherwise the acid can splash you and get on your skin and also if it is a concentrated acid, as you dilute it, a lot of heat is generated, and you want the larger volume of water to be able to absorb that heat.

Water in acid should never be done

Acid in water rarely goes wrong

A student must make a 3 M acid solution using a 5 M acid solution Which of these is the safest way to make the solution?

The safest way to make a 3 M acid solution from a 5 M acid solution is by diluting the 5 M solution with water. To do this, you should measure out the volume of the 5 M solution needed to reach the desired concentration (3 M) and then add an appropriate amount of water to reach the final volume. Mixing acid into water can generate heat and splashes, so always add acid to water slowly while stirring to minimize potential hazards.

How should you safely add water to acid to prevent a dangerous reaction?

To safely add water to acid and prevent a dangerous reaction, you should slowly pour the water into the acid while stirring continuously. This helps to dilute the acid gradually and reduce the risk of splashing or a sudden release of heat. It is important to always add acid to water, not the other way around, to avoid a potentially hazardous reaction.

How can you dilute a strong acid?

Acids are vigourous in nature. Therefore, it is completely ridiculous to pour water in acids( as this reaction is exothermic). Therefore, we take a beaker of water and pour the acid drop by drop to the water. Care must be taken and solution must be continuously stirred.
