Question

What happens in the dilution of acid and base with water?

Answer 1

Answer: Acids and bases are commonly water supply and can be diluted by adding water. In fact, with the addition of water, the amount of acid or base per unit volume decreases and dilution occurs. The process is generally exothermic in nature. In some cases, so much heat is evolved that the acid or base immediately changes into vapour state. The vapours is spread in air or atmosphere and appear like a fog. Since these are poisonous, the pollute the atmosphere. This is Known as pollution.
