Answer 2

The correct method of diluting an acid is -

1. The first thing followed in the process to dilute acid is - acid is added to water and not water to acid. This is a common mistake that is done. The concept may seem common but is an essential part because adding water to acid can lead to a harmful reaction which can be hazardous.

2. The dilution of acid does not make the acid less reacting. It remains strong just like before but the concentration is lowered to match the quantities required in a reaction.

3. For diluting the acid to be diluted is added in water, it is then slowly stirred and left alone before actively using it, allowing it to dilute correctly.
