$\huge \sf {\orange {\underline {\pink{\underline{Answer :-}}}}}$

Diluting an acid should be done by adding concentrated acid to water gradually with stirring and not by adding water to concentrated acid.

The heat is evolved gradually when a concentrated acid is added to water for diluting an acid and the large amount of water is easily absorbed.

If, however, water is added to concentrated acid to dilute it, a large amount of heat is evolved at once.
