So much heat is released that the solution may boil very violently, splashing concentrated acid out of the container and all this because the reaction is exothermic. On the other hand, adding acid to water, the solution that forms is very dilute andthe small amount of heat released isnot enough to vaporize it.

When acid is added to water then a lot of heat is evolved at once which causes an exothermic reaction and is difficult to handle. But when water is added then the heat produced is not dangerous,if you stirr it.
