Question

what is dilution of an acid? why this process is exothermic ? mention precautions to be taken while diluting an acid.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If you add water to acid it forms an extremely concentrated solution of acid initially. So much heat is released that the solution may boil very violently, splashing concentrated acid out of the container and all this because the reaction is exothermic.

Dilution of acid is exothermic reaction. Water should never be added to acid but acid can be added to water for dilution.

PRECAUTIONS:

One should wear safety gloves while holding acid.

Acid should be added to water and not water to the acid. The latter is a highly exothermic reaction and may break the container.

One should wear safety goggles and stay as far apart as possible from the acid.

Here are some of the precautions to be taken while diluting an acid:-

• Protective gloves should be worn.

Always add acid to the water and not the vice versa because a lot of heat will be evolved from the mixture and it may even splash out on our face and it may burn or cause serious injuries.....
