if large amount of water is poured in large amount of acid as the reaction will be highly exothermic the contents might fall out and cause damage... that's why we add acid to water..m

This is because dilution is an exothermic reaction and can produce a lot of heat.if large amount of water will be added heat will be released in a large amount. This can explode the beaker and can cause severe burns and damages
