Question

While diluting an acid, why it is recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid?​

Answer 1

because when we add acid to water small amount of heat it liberate that's why we have to add acid in water

Answer 2

Cause usually The Strong acids are diluted which in both cases is an exothermic process...Hence if you Pour water into The acid solution there is a great chance that the Acid may splash on the environment thus u or someone could get hurt

thats why in most of the cases acids arr added to water dropwise with constant stirring
