hey
what happens when water is added to concentrated acid n bases.
Answers
Answer:
This happens with strong acids and bases. Strong means the acid almost complete dissociates into ions; e.g. HClHCl to H+HX+ and Cl−ClX−. When the dissociation occurs, it releases a great deal of heat (i.e. exothermic) because of the subsequent hydration of H+HX+ to H3O+HX3OX+, as the other comments have indicated. The reason you add acid to water is that if you add water to acid, the first drop of water reacts immediately, and the heat might be high enough to boil the water instantly, which could spray acid out of the container.

HELLO HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Explanation:
Diluting acids and bases
Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution.
