Mixing acid and water produces an exothermic reaction (i.e. it releases heat).
If you add water to acid, the water has lots and lots of acid to react with. the water will boil and splatter the strong acid - perhaps on the hand or face of the person doing the adding. If you add acid to water, the same reaction occurs but there is a bit of acid being added to lots and lots of water. Boiling is unlikely as the mass of water is a great heat sink, and any acid is rapidly diluted, so if there is any splattering it is much less, and of a much diluted form of the acid.

How is diluting an iced tea is different from diluting an acid?
When you dilute tea, it doesn't matter whether you add tea to water or water to tea. When you dilute acid, you should alwyas add acid to water, not the other way around. This is because water and acid will temporarily heat up; and it is dangerous to have a hot solution of strong acid mix (all the original acid plus the first drops of water to go in).
When diluting suma d2 with water what should you put in the trigger spray first?
When diluting Suma D2 with water in a trigger spray, you should always add the water first. This helps to prevent the concentrated solution from clumping or reacting negatively with the water. After adding the desired amount of water, you can then add the Suma D2 concentrate. Finally, secure the trigger spray and mix gently to ensure an even distribution.
Does adding water change the pH of an acid?
Yes it does. pH is defined as the -log of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, or -log[H+]. As you add water to an acid, you are diluting it, thus lowering the concentration of H+. Putting a lower value in for [H+] in the equation -log[H+] will give you a great value than you originally had. This means the pH has increased, making the solution more basic.
Will it be chemical change if acid add to the water?
NO
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 the safety rule for diluting an acid?
Wear safety goggles, do not mix acids unless instructed to do so.

How can you change the concentration of acid?
By diluting it with water or neutralising it with a base or alkaline
Add acid to water?
When diluting acid, always add acid to water, not water to acid. This helps prevent splashing and potential hazards due to rapid heat release. Start by slowly pouring the acid into the water while stirring continuously to ensure thorough mixing and prevent a sudden exothermic reaction.
Acid is correctly diluted with water by this method?
Always add acid to water, never the other way around. This helps to prevent splashing or releasing heat too quickly, which can be dangerous. Stir the solution gently while diluting to ensure thorough mixing.
Should you add water to acid?
No
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.
What are the precautions to be taken while diluting an acid?
When diluting an acid, always add the acid to water slowly and steadily, never water to acid. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat. Dilute the acid in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes, and be prepared to neutralize any spills with a neutralizing agent like baking soda.
You are diluting an acid for use in the lab. To make the dilution you must add exactly 10.0 mL of acid to 90 mL of water. What tool should you use to measure the acid?
You should use a graduated cylinder to measure the 10.0 mL of acid accurately. This tool allows for precise measurement of liquid volumes.
The safest technique for diluting a concentrated acid is to stir constantly while pouring the?
you put acid to water slowly while stirring constantly.
Do you add water to acid or add acid to water?
you add acid to water
How should you dilute an acid?
Add specific amount of acid in calculated amount of water.(not water into acid).
