water should be taken in a beaker and and acid should be added slowly with constant stirring to avoid splashing due to heat.
diluting strong mineral acids is a highly exothermic process and should be dealt with caution. one should never add water to acid or water to acid without stirring as it may cause boiling and splashing causing accidents
