Question

why acid should be added to water in the process of dilution and not vice versa

Answer 1

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...
