why acid should be added to water in the process of dilution and not vice versa
Brainlynostalgia:
If wayer is added to acid then it will explode due to irregular hydronium and hydroxyl ion concentration which is produced due to ionisation of water.

Heya...✌✌
:
Because the process of adding water to acids is highly exothermic and vigorous...While if we add acid to water ...then its not so exothermic...!!
:
The reason you add acid towater is that if you add waterto acid, the first drop of waterreacts immediately, and the heat might be high enough to boil the water instantly, which could spray acid out of the container...

Hope it helps..☺☺

Sorry if i become too judgemental. But i think that answer would be more appropriate if you explain the reason for the reaction being highly exothermic while adding waterto acid.
Why it is less exothermic if done in reverse manner though reactants are all same?
No offense. A friendly suggestion and a genuine doubt.
Right...
I'll edit my answer...
thnx for suggestion...!

✔The process of adding water to a concentrated acid is called Dilution .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✨Diluting an acid is a very dangerous event and to do it properly , we need to take proper precautions .
✔The acid should be added to water that to drop by drop slowly with a dropper with constant stirring .
✔If you add the water to the acid , it may splash out harming your skin. The container can also break as a result due to excessive local heating .
